Re: Harvey
The BBC had a reporter broadcasting from the area this morning, high winds ans lots of rain, and the reporter looking a little worried about the nearest street lights, so they cut the segment off to let her find a safer spot, she then reappeared in a different place and continued, but she still seemed to be in danger of being blown off her feet.
Hope everyone in its way are safe. Thinking of you, which does nothing for anyone!

Re: Harvey
I'm on rising bayou watch right now. It is out its banks and creeping up our property very quickly.
At least our power is back for now but the rain bands are still strong and frequent. M has been called out to fix a pump, which is worrying. Hopefully he found a road that wasn't flooded!
If you see ariel views of a crazy woman on a roof then you'll know I didnt do a Moses and part the water.
It's going to be a long few days yet!

Re: Harvey
Went for a walk during our hour of no rain. This is the local bayou, that's usually a normal bridge

Re: Harvey
We had an hour without water and it dropped down. Course, it's now been raining for another hour so it's probably back up!
The only flooding around the streets we saw was where people's drainage was blocked up. We made sure ours were all cleared.

Re: Harvey
This is a strange storm. Just hovering over the coast and not moving away is very unusual.
I was also sad to see that Rockport and Fulton were hit by the main part of the storm. We love to visit that small Bayside area. We always stay at the Lighthouse Hotel in Fulton. It is one of the friendliest and relaxing small hotels I have ever stayed at. I do hope it survived the storm.

Re: Harvey
We've had steady rain all day, my pool has filled by about 5-6 inches. The low water crossings are steadily closing with another 4 in the last 15 minutes. Austin will cope but all this water flows into the colorado and then down to the Gulf.
Take care everyone.

Re: Harvey
Well this is extremely unpleasant. I think it's ended for a while but we have been hunkering down in the half bath for tornados nearby. How are you holding up Sugarmooma?
Our Bayou is flowing nicely. Local roads flooded but idiots still trying to get down them.

Re: Harvey
My sympathies to all of you in Texas. After experiencing a hurricane several years ago in NJ...I know what it's like to hunker down in the basement. We had a 100ft+ fir tree downed...it just missed the house...shingles ripped away and without power for a week...so I know to a lesser extent how it feels. Stay safe everyone.

Re: Harvey
weeze do take care. Those tornado warnings are no joke.
My friend in Cypress shared this video - not her video because she was also hunkering down..
