We get enough rain here. Don't need to see more up there. 

Chilly, grey and wet. Can't wait to get back home already.

Hopefully some of the arms drop rain on central Texas, and it doesn't intensify too much for the Gulf area.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

At least it's "only" cat 1.  Texas should be OK aside from some flooding.

8-12" of rain and Houston do not play nicely together.

Especially when Houston and SE Texas have already been flooded out for the past several months.

Meanwhile we have life-threatening drought-conditions with no end in sight. What a difference 150 miles makes...

Stormwater management and infrastructure is largely non-existent in Houston. It's only been in the past 10-15 years or so that they've started to pay attention.

I understand most storm damage is due to water, not wind, which makes sense.

Drainage is probably tough when the terrain is flat.

For sure but the rest of the broader area is already flooded out as well, it's not just an urban Houston proper thing.  They've had record rainfall for months, the last thing they need is more.

150 miles ....  you just need a long tube.  And a pump probably.  And dikes and dams ...

Things are sporty here. Hurricane made landfall about 30 miles SW of us. Power went out last night. Roof is blown off our cow barn, sky lights are ripped off my shop. Still pretty windy. 

Reports that we got 17” of rain since last night.
