Not just the rain, but storm surge too probably. Let’s all hope the models are wrong, otherwise...

Port Lavaca is on the “dirty” side of this storm. Someone is going to get hammered. I’m praying for her safety and for her home, but what do you do? Put the belongings upstairs and let the wind rip off the 2nd floor? Leave them on the 1st floor and have them flooded? There is no good outcome here.

I think the really scary part about Harvey is the combination of 35-plus inches of rain and the storm surge. We're talking much of the coastline of Texas hit with a deluge of water and wind that could make the infamous 1900 hurricane that destroyed Galveston, TX seem like a minor event.
