La Grange, Columbus, and Eagle Lake are having mandatory evacuations in areas around the Colorado river. Colorado in La Grange is projected to crest at 49.1 ft the highest the Colorado crested since 1935 at 50.84. I have had 17.97" in Weimar as of now and more to come. Everyone be safe.

Certainly a historic flood event here in Houston. Very thankful water hasn't gotten into my home so far. I've been more fortunate than most areas of town...only about 14 inches compared to 24 inches across other parts of the area.

It's something when you say you've ONLY received 14" of rain.

Stay safe over there, yeah? Keep checking in if you can.

Looks like its a hybrid low now. Someone on twitter called this a few hours ago, and by where the precip is falling, it looks to be so. There is a boundary in the Eastern/NE quadrant of the storm. How would this effect re-intensification? Would it be slower if this is a hybrid now?

Im at 28", so far im okay. I am watching oyster creek like a hawk though

I would not be too concerned with re intensification too much. Regardless of what happens that way, the fetch being drawn in via the gulf is wide open so the effects of rainfall will likely continue as it has been whether the actually low center gets stronger or not

I was thinking the same EXACT thing! All relative. :wink:

I had an inch from Thursday. Emptied that to prep for Harvey. Emptied gauge last night at 4 inches. I have an additional 2.5 inches now.

7.5 inches for me. Been more of a consistent windy system over last 36 hours with constant, but manageable rain. Lots of downed twigs and branches.

We also sprung a leak in the kitchen ceiling last night! Just drips. No leaks today since last night. Think the constant wind and gusts over 36 hours may have loosened roofing.

But we contacted our home insurance. An adjuster is coming in a day or two. Someone supposed to come with a tarp to cover roof in the morning. Another guy we know in Georgetown also has a leak in his house. They also had a couple buckets catching water from doorways at church this morning. So we aren't the only ones with a leak apparently. Ms. Weatherdude1108s aunt and uncle cypress said there is two inches of water in their house. They moved up to the second floor. Power on. Crazy stuff going on in SE Texas, something we won't likely experience in a while!

This dry slot here could be big for Fort bend county at least. HRRR is projecting less than 2" for me tomorow. Keep praying fellas. I miss the sun. Seriously.

Guys, I have a legit question for y'all. Someone with more knowledge might be able to answer this for me, but clearly the center of Harvey the past day or two has been void of convection. The heavy stuff has remained a good 100 miles or so north and east of the center. If that trend continues then why are they still forecasting so much rain for SE TX if the center is going to be hanging around that area the next few days? It seems as if to me the rain for the most part besides maybe a couple inches would be over with. It seems like the higher totals would push more into far east TX and into Louisiana. Thoughts on this??

I don't know how much rain we've had but it has to have been at least 10". We sprang a couple leaks too, one I think was the wind driving the rain under the flashing or something cause we never got a drip in the house just a small damp spot on the ceiling. The other one was also wind driven where we need to reseal a window. All on the north side of the house. Normally we don't get rain blown from that direction.

Well, already at 2.30" of rain today, this yellow colored band of moderate rain is stuck over me.

One thing to note, the temp began dropping to 73 degrees at around 6am. Kind of sharply, does this mean were dealing with a diff kind of system now? Temp hasnt been this low since the rains began. Winds out of the ENE.

I also posted this on the Harvey Discussion thread. If you're affected or know someone, please heed the warning:

If you are in any of the voluntary and mandatory evacuation areas in Fort Bend County….you need to leave immediately. There are pumping issues in Sienna Plantation and it is likely that some of the levees will be overtopped. Follow directions of local emergency officials

My wife has an aunt and uncle in the Cypresswood/Jones Road area. They started getting an inch of water downstairs last night and moved upstairs. Today, there was a foot of water downstairs. They have never flooded down there to that degree!

They decided to leave. Her son has a friend with a boat that took them out of there. I've been to their a few times for Christmas. Sad. :(

Update: They went to a shelter in Tomball.

As far as good news, I've noticed the temperatures were 69 degrees last night and when I woke up this morning at my place. High of 79 to 80 today through this week and lows around 69 and 70. I guess there are benefits to being on the western side of a low pressure system in the northern hemisphere (if you have already had a lot of rain, unlike the September 2011 inferno).

Nice! :)
