Hurricane Harvey

Monster rain the next few days. Going to be a big mess. Hope everyone got out.
 
I have co-workers on my team in San Antonio. They were sending me photos of bare store shelves.

so apparently it has stalled literally barely offshore, meaning it's wreaking havoc and continuing to strengthen.
 
Was just watching the Weather Channel. The storm is only moving 7 mph. Will go inland Ssturday loop aroujd south and then follow coast North. Pulling moisture off the gulf till Tuesday. Areas getting 30-40 inches. Crazy.
 
NWS is using language they last used for Katrina - in terms of damage and places being uninhabitable for months.

Hell, if you drive some of that coastline today, especially in MS, a lot of that is still recovering, more than a decade later.
 
I didn't realize it's supposed to be this bad. Damn

Yeah, I didn't know that either until today. I also saw an article where the mayor of Rockport told the people who had chosen not to evacuate to write their names and social security numbers on their arms so that people would be able to identify their bodies. That is horrifying.

Not the same article, but about the same event: http://www.wfaa.com/weather/rockpor...social-security-number-on-their-arm/467378851
 
Sister in Victoria. Currently a stones throw from eye. Lost fences, but house is enduring. Power on and off throughout the night. Really strange having a loved one in the path of that beast.
