We have family that has already been affected and are safe, but our daughters neighborhood is filling up and we have had to give them instructions what to do to be safe. They have a second story to go to, so they should be safe, but this rain is relentless and it has no where to go. I have verified amounts over 3 feet from some friends and we are approaching 20" at out house but are not flooded so far. This is catastrophic for 10s of thousands if not 100s of thousands of people and we see no end in sight for at least 24 hours if not longer.
This is so sad. Praying for everyone in Houston. Please keep us posted.

Most of Pinewood is flooded and most have evacuated. Hundreds of homes.Catastrophic flooding. There's been many rescues by boat. Sandbags have been useless. Water coming up in my backyard. My street flooded. The entrance to Pinewood is flooded and Hwy 105 is flooded in both directions. It's been closed from Pinewood to Sour Lake (and beyond?) all day, but a few hours ago, I received pics of it flooded near Bevil Oaks (a few miles from here, if that) Have generator on now, but will eventually run out of gas. Have extra gas cans, but not enough for days. Getting very worried we will flood, but can't drive out. Would have to be by boat. Pine Island Bayou will crest at or above the record set in 1994. My house has never flooded and they built a new, huge drainage ditch that would supposedly help in situations like this, but Harvey just laughed at it. We lost electricity last night and the estimated time of restoration is August 31st and I doubt that will happen. I've been watching the water rise in my backyard since earlier this afternoon and now that it's dark, will be harder to do. I have a ways to go, but it's still rising, raining and more rain coming. I have been praying for my community, neighboring cities flooded, Houston, and all areas affected. We don't get the attention Houston gets as we're a MUCH smaller metropolis, but we'd appreciate some prayers. Very nervous.
I'll post pics when I have more time and electricity.

unfortunately, the worst of the future flooding may affect the BPT area, since that is where landfall may occur. It would need to go east of Lake Charles to greatly reduce the flood threat

There must be enough breaks between these areas of rain to be able to allow for drainage, which is great news. The way that it looked Sunday Morning, I was thinking that we would be seeing only rooftops of the city with all the feet of rain. I know it's not quite over yet. I'll just keep hoping for good news

I think the people in Houston don't want to hear this at the moment while they're watching the water approach them...
