Harris County's FWS is incredible. Truly.



It is.

Not that I am a fan of more government, but I have to wonder if NOLA or SE Louisiana should have a flood district. Or repurpose an existing entity (maybe one of the levee districts) to do this.

If we had real-time maps of canal levels, water on road levels, and rainfall, might make for a better ability to deal with these issues.

I can’t recall hearing that TexS was closed at the TX/LA border due to weather before. It may have happed but I can’t remember that.

Looks like it’s breaking up from the latest radar loop. Hopefully the worst is over and I can get home tomorrow.

I was watching the news this morning before work and no one was warning Houston proper. fricking insanity


How is that possible? I was watching NC morning news and they said Houston was going to get flooding similar to Harvey levels. I was suprised to not see anything posted here this morning but figured maybe I heard wrong.

I didn't check the weather forecast this morning. I left home at 06:30 and the rain had stopped with just lightening popping off in the distance. The roads were dry and based on the conditions it seemed everything had passed. Halfway to work they played the weather on the radio and it said they expected the storm to move SW over Houston. I thought about turning around but didn't. I can absolutely see how people who were commuting early this AM were caught off guard.

The long hurricane/tropical thread has had people posting models for two days showing this as very much a possibility.

Same.

The local Houston news sold it as “heavy rain possible” in Houston Metro and North Houston, but emphasized that the worst of it would be East of Houston. None of them warned watchers to stay home, stay off the roadways, and most of the Houston area ISDs stayed open.
