Your escape story reminds me of my escape with my family last August in the BR area - speedy but calculated. If you're like I was, you're living a blurry, foggy life of shock and uncertainty right now. Trust me it gets better. Prayers to you and yours and I sincerely hope your recovery is as smooth as possible. I really, really do wish the best for you and everyone else affected. It's a terrible thing to experience but feel welcome to come vent to the OT. Believe me, all of us here know what you're going through and we're still experiencing it to some degree so we will understand. The OT can be a cruel, unruly place but at the end of the day we are all human and have a basic love for our fellow man and are here for you and anyone else there. OT strong!

Harvey is producing rainmakers firing through Galveston Bay that are going to train over Houston.

It just won't stop.

ighbors came with us so kids have friends here. Looks like our house will be flooded out and no flood insurance sucks but we are alive and safe.



Damn, I hate to hear that ryno. I was there a year ago. I know you have a million thoughts going though your head, but once you can get in an assess needs I want to help in some way.

Can someone give me an update of rainfall projections in nola? Ive watched the radar and everything keeps breaking up before it gets here.



Short term models like the HRRR have SELa filling in overnight as the long band around LC migrates to the east. A solid 2"-4" overnight is projected.

Described it perfectly. I'm in a fog. My 6.month old is keeping me in good spirits while my older kids are acting like this is a vacation. Lol.

Good on you getting out.

I'm a mile north of Cypress Creek on 249..we rolled down this AM to cypresswood and evacuated the retirement home just part Champions Forest. They left those people there.

Other homeowners in the area were in their second floors, refusing to leave. Mind boggling when the water is 10+ ft deep in most areas.

How far away from Methodist were you? What is the status of the hospital as far accessibility/flooding?

It's hard to say. She has signs that indicate she could come out right now and say let's roll, but signs that indicate we may have a little more time. Based on today's happenings, I'm setting the O/U at 48 hours and hoping for the over.

I plotted a course to the hospital that all resources say is clear for us. I'm going to test it tomorrow morning.
