Tropical Storm Harvey

[Driller]

Looks like he's coming onshore at or close to hurricane strength.

Watch area currently from Brownsville to Houston.

Tropical storm strength inland to nearly Austin.

Looks like a wet windy weekend.

Remember Ike which was the last one in 2008.

Third most costly in history behind Sandy and Katrina.

Stay safe everyone.

Thanks Driller.

Will be praying you folks get through it unscathed.

2004 was the 100 year storm up here in Pennsylvania. Hurricane Ivan took many to it's watery grave.

Batten down Driller! Hope all keeps safe over there!

Just heard Harvey may make it up to Pennsylvania for Labor Day weekend

[Driller]

Looks like it will come inland and the loop back along the coast back to Galveston. Lots of uncertainty as it will be trapped between two high pressure zones.

Harvey upgraded to Cat. 4 hurricane. Looks like the Texas gulf coast will take a pounding for the better part of a week as he makes a loop and heads over to Houston.

They'll be plenty of flooding.

New forecast out for Houston. NWS says an additional 40-50" of rain possible. This on top of the 25" they've had since Friday.

Lake Conroe has its flood gates open. Lake full sending more water down to Houston.

Pray for those poor folks trapped.

State asked for people to bring their flat bottom boats and help with rescue. Report 1000s of boaters trying to help others. Proud of the response.

Always great to hear about people helping each other out.

[AsLan7]

Pictures I'm seeing are tragic.

Harvey is just picking up water from Gulf and dumping it. Then repeat.
Wow.

Pray for storm track to go out and stay out.

Texans not waiting for FEMA.
