ATL: HARVEY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[AutoPenalti]

TWC reporting 25 people now confirmed dead from Harvey.

Total, or in the US only?

I'm thinking just in the US alone, they didn't specify.

[Kingarabian]

Another man that lost his house was also there to help. Said he can't dwell on it and needs to help those he can.

Thanks for the continued updates, aritst.

[Hurricane Andrew]

It looks like I will start dispatching for the Cajun Navy in a couple of hours...glad to finally be helpful.

I think Harvey looks better now (organization) than at the time of last landfall.

According to Wikipedia at least, the only non-U.S. death was in Guyana with the first phase of the storm.

Just found out that my neighbor's good friend is one of those. She's just devastated. Brings it right home in a different way.

Tropical Storm Harvey Discussion Number 42
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092017
400 PM CDT Wed Aug 30 2017

Harvey is gradually weakening as the center moves farther inland,
with the winds near the center diminishing and the central pressure
rising to near 998 mb. However, scatterometer data and surface
observations indicate a band of 30-35 kt winds over the Gulf of
Mexico well to the southeast of the center, and this is the basis
for keeping Harvey a tropical storm. The cyclone should weaken to
a depression in less than 12 hours, and continued slow weakening is
anticipated until the cyclone dissipates completely between
72-96 h. It should be noted that the forecast weakening will not
eliminate the risk of continued heavy rainfall and flooding along
Harvey's path, although the system's faster motion will keep
subsequent rainfall totals well below what occurred over
southeastern Texas.

Harvey is wobbling back and forth around an overall motion of
020/7. The cyclone is located on the northwestern side of a low- to
mid-tropospheric level ridge over the western Atlantic and eastern
Gulf of Mexico, which should steer it north-northeastward and then
northeastward across the Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys
during the next 72-96 h until the system dissipates.


Key Messages:

1. Ongoing catastrophic and life-threatening flooding will continue
across southeastern Texas. While the threat of heavy rains has
ended in the Houston/Galveston area, catastrophic and life-
threatening flooding will continue in and around Houston,
Beaumont/Port Arthur, eastward into southwest Louisiana for the rest
of the week. Isolated storm totals have reached 50 inches over the
upper Texas coast, including the Houston/Galveston metropolitan
area. Please heed the advice of local officials. Do not attempt to
travel if you are in a safe place, and do not drive into flooded
roadways. Refer to products from your local National Weather Service
office and the NOAA Weather Prediction Center for more information
on the flooding hazard. A summary of rainfall totals compiled by
the Weather Prediction Center can be found at:
www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc1.html

2. The flood threat has spread farther north and east, and
additional rainfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches with isolated
amounts up to 10 inches are expected from southwestern Louisiana and
the adjacent border of eastern Texas northeastward into western
Kentucky through Friday. Please heed the advice of local officials
and refer to products from your local National Weather Service
office and the NOAA Weather Prediction Center for more information
on the flooding hazard in these areas.

AccuWeather pits this as the costliest Atlantic hurricane by a landslide at a projected $160 billion. I don't know if I buy it completely, but after seeing all the damage caused already and the damage still to come, I really wouldn't be surprised.

Jabman, how horrific. Yeah, gives it a whole new face
when the tragic loss of life hits close to home. Prayers to all.

I just want to say a huge thank you to storm2k.org for this forum. It has allowed us to keep up on this news like no other site. From the storm itself, to the news of the cities and communities that have been in the path of Harvey this site has been AWESOME! I'm sure that lives were saved because of the service that you have performed.

My goodness...CN told me they will be doing rescues for a while...I am going to dispatch clear through the friction night if I have to. I mean...I have my road test tomorrow, but...saving lives is more important.

Sadly I think we may well have a new number 1...I didn't think Katrina would be over toppled so soon given the exceptional nature of that storm, but this one has caused unreal fooding damage.
