"Update. Not liking the recent trend on radar. Area wide rain showers have increased all morning. Of particular note is the heavier band that has formed to the north and northeast of the center of Harvey, which is currently near the coast southeast of Bay City. This band has been growing north and northeast reaching across northern Galveston County and southeastern Harris County. Rain rates according to radar are 1-2 inches per hour. While not the hellish 5-6 inch per hour rate of Saturday night, too many hours of this rain on top of our ongoing flood will be bad news. I've had just over 3 inches since 6 am. More bad news is that in my experience the rain near the core of tropical storms over land tends to increase at night. Not alway, but a concern. The center of Harvey is forecast to move slowly east then northeast along the coast then finally move northeast away from our area Wednesday.
I did a little recon of the west League City area. Neighborhood roads ok. the main road - 518- was cut off by flooding to our west before FM 528. A few lost souls had tried to drive thru and were flooded out. Hardly any businesses open. A Kroger store was open with a long line of people waiting their turn to enter. According to the news the wait was 2 hours... We are well provisioned except for coffee which if rationed properly will last through Wednesday. Enough Scotch till October. Eating mainly the perishables for now in case power fails and have at least a weeks worth of non perishables. I bet we dig into some of it before this disaster is over...
Storm total rain at Casa Read now over 3 feet.."
gotta love the Scotch comment... |
