No, east. The one right offshore, south of Mobile.

I had family working in Lake Charles. They evacuated before Harvey made landfall in Texas luckily. I have family in Lafayette that are worried, though. They flooded last August and the uproot almost did them in. 4 kids all under 10 and it really put a lot of stress on them, like everyone else that was affected I'm sure.

I'm hoping Harvey is minimal in Louisiana.

I searched the Cajun navy and plenty of channels pulled up.

Just watched footage of a swift water rescue that looks like it came from a traffic camera. Water was nearly to the roof of the vehicle containing the person being rescued. Next to the skill of the boat's driver with a tiller steer outboard in the high velocity stream (street) it was impressive that the car's windshield wipers were still rolling in spite of being nearly submerged.

Thing about that map though isn't it's isn't accurate at all. Sure it's somewhat of a prediction but a band can train across an area 50 miles one way or another. That spot with 19 inches forcased by Lake Ponch could easily be on top of NO or anywhere else in S La

Yea I'm listening to that now. Way too much traffic on the radio.

Though sounds like they think they may have located her asking where she's at in the house.

Yeah, the exact location should be taken with a grain of salt. The point is those type of totals are possible in the general area.

It's an isolated area. It was actually 22".

Maybe I'm just unfamiliar with those maps.

How can it be 22 inches in that area but all the numbers around it be so much less? Is that over a different time period?

Thanks.

Not looking good for Houston this morning... Looks like the Northern blob of convection is beginning to consolidate and will train over Houston continuously until this thing begins moving north and out.

The NAM is showing development of a line of storms currently to the east of New Orleans. That line trains over the gulf south of Mobile, and then the bands of Harvey move over the area through the forecast.

Here is the gif of the original post:

Just insane. Even once all the water finally recedes and the humanitarian issues are addressed, imagine how long it's going to take to inspect major highways that were fully submerged for structural integrity.
