Where are you located????

Is the awful pink area over Kingwood, a Houston suburb? My sister is there, recently had heart surgery...could start driving to Dallas now. They also just had their house redone, extensive remodeling. But the important thing is her health and safety.
Are you near Kingwood? If you were, would you stay or go?
It would depend on what part of Kingwood. Parts of that subdivision is on the West Fork of the San Jacinto River and subject to flooding, other areas not so much. I use to live on the Eastfork of the San Jacinto river, hence, eastforker.
Any evacs for Lake Jackson? Some friends just moved there 2 wks ago!
Thx!!

Harrrvey?
Hey, Harvey. This guy said "Harvey" is a funny name.
She told me years ago that they are above area that is prone to flooding. So it’s relatively safe to stay?
I sent her a text an hour ago saying hunkering down beats the drive to Dallas with a couple of Siamese cats yowling and a little dog howling their crates . I was in Andrew in FL, left town in time. But boy ooh boy, that drive up to Orlando was just ghastly.
Stay safe, eastforker.

Joe left Accuweather a few years ago. He’s a principle with Weatherbell now.
West of Houston.
It will be a slow moving rain maker and still (possibly) a Tropical Storm when it hits Galveston.
There is concern in Louisiana because of the fact the system is going to be such a slow mover.
Lafayette, Louisiana -- between Lake Charles and Baton Rouge -- is forecast to get 10 inches of rain.
Galveston can ill afford a six foot storm surge, 60 mph winds and 20=30 inches of rain -- which is possible.

I suspect he’s commenting on the tendency of the media and global warming crowd to catastrophize. That’s their MO the last half decade
