Not sure what the hell he needs to survey. He can flip a TV on and see how catastrophic it is just there. I guess he just wants to see it with his own eyes.

A Houston police officer drowned in his patrol car in Harvey floodwaters, according to three department officials.

The officer, an HPD veteran who has been with the department for more than 30 years, was in his patrol car driving to work downtown Sunday morning when he got trapped in high water at I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road.

Search and rescue crews are currently recovering his body. The department has not yet formally notified the officer's family. "He was trying different routes, and took a wrong turn," one high-ranking official said, asking not to be identified. After getting trapped in high water, the officer tried to get out but was unable to.

Can't find out how to loop the images into a gif, but the water vapor loop shows a ton of dry air infiltrating the system from TX to central LA




Harvey continues to transition away from a purely tropical system. Heaviest rain from here on out should be to the N and NW of the center as it lifts out.

How can you declare state of emergency if it isnt even bad enough to close schools?

That's a good point. Got to do it for politics all of them do it after a natural disaster anyway.

Speaking of that, I remember Obama taking his sweet arse time last year when we flooded. So yeah, when you put it into that perspective it makes sense.

Something might develop in the BOC and lift north towards... SE Texas or Louisiana. Hopefully, this doesn't happen.

I could be wrong, so someone correct me if I am.

I believe you have to declare a state of emergency before the federal government can provide assistance. Therefore you declare for a state of emergency just in case you need help so that you don't delay relief.
