re: Harvey ***Catastrophic Flooding Event***

I'm skeptical of farther west solutions. The developing storm near the Carolinas is weaking the eastern ridge and that allows a weakness for Harvey to drift east into. At some point it'll build back in directing Harvey more north.
It just doesn't make as much sense as a bias to a farther east solution but with the lack of strong steering you can't discount the possibility.

The GFS has been too far West the entire time.

Is there anymore news on one of the levees breaking? I believe word came out early this morning about it.

I'm not sure what you're seeing. The 12z run of the GFS is east of the 6z run at basically every interval at this point.
That being said, a few miles east or west won't make a difference when you don't know where the bands will set up. The actual path is very important in hindsight, but you can't make a determination on the flooding rains just because it is 60 miles east or west of a previous track.

Fire is out as HFD put it out. It was at a insurance defense law firm building.

99% of "levee breaking" rumors are false. Lake Conroe dam is releasing a ton of water, and the Barker and Addicts reservoirs are/will be releasing water, but no levee failures have been reported with any accuracy.
There are levees that are projected to be overtopped, such as Bay City and areas along the Brazos, but they're not failing from a structural standpoint.

hate to ask what the next 12-18" of rain within next 2 days can affect those unaffected thus far.

Thanks. I am not familiar with the area so I wasnt sure if it was all low lying or if there were places that are higher

Power back on. Thinking clearly again.

The band currently focused on New Iberia area dropped 3-4" from 9-10AM south of Abbeville. Flash flooding concerns will move east with the band over the next few hours.
Was pretty nasty -- we're south of Abbeville.

Houston is huge and lot of the flooding is in surrounding cities. The flooding around Houston are street floods or places too close to a bayou, a lot of which haven't flooded before. I am on the first floor of an complex in the upper kirbyish area and never had to worry.

Thank you guys for the info. Good to hear from people who are more familiar with the area.

Lookinh on FB, there are still a ton of people that are being rescued, and the water is getting higher. Anyone in Houston or surrounding area that can get out now should do it before the water starts topping levees
