The Climate Changes Zealots are going to do their best to make this sound like Katrina II and then try to blame Trump for backing out of the Paris accord, yada, yada.
Note to non-Texans: You will see pictures of Interstate 10 underwater. It’s happened several times before. One stretch planners cleverly decided to tunnel under the cross streets on the way to downtown instead of jumping over them. Result: Floods every time there is heavy rains. Dramatic photos for the media to exploit.
If it dawdles around Houston, it will be worse than the underrated Tropical Storm Allison if 2001 in terms of damage. If the eye moves inland, though, it should peter out into a nice rain storm which we Texans will have back to normal in a week or two.
I’m hoping it comes further inland so the I-35 corridor gets a good cooling off. It’s August, after all.
Now we’re beginning to see some impressive wind speeds. A buoy 60 nautical miles off the coast of Corpus Christi is reporting 56 m.p.h. winds. This buoy is 30 miles from the reported center of H. Harvey.
Praying Jesus calms the storm and keeps those in it’s path safe..............In Jesus Name we ask, Amen
As of now I would say the eye is heading for somewhere around Corpus Christie.
Add Port O’Connor to the list of places that have seen tropical storm force winds. A station there clocked the windspeed at 40 m.p.h.
Aransas Pass takes a huge lead for the fastest windspeeds over land with winds at 49 m.p.h.
Did a hurricane in Houston about 20 years ago... The rain!!!!! Unbelievable.
It is between Corpus Christi and Victoria.
It is close to the coast and I believe low lying.
I hope they evacuate that town...
Prayers for both the humans and animals in the affected area. Stay safe South TX FRpers.

Saw this on the Galveston Web Cam earlier. Watched him go back and forth a dozen times or so.
Eyewall approaching Aransas Pass. Aransas Pass reporting 96 m.p.h. winds. This is our best chance of actually seeing 100 m.p.h. winds actually measured (as opposed to the 130 m.p.h. winds derived from NHC models).
