So the rain at my place has tailed off. 8.71 in. Since midnight. 16in since 10:30 PM yesterday. 23+in since Friday.
Only 4 more days to go!
Shit I'd like to go to bed.
Hell, I'm surprised he's still able to casually sit here and post on forums as opposed to trying to stem the flood. That's a lot of water with nowhere to go.Need a bed that floats.....2 feet of rain is terrifying.

The storm has stalled, so it's not going anywhere for a few days. This is essentially what was predicted. The loop was always a high uncertainty event, and not all that important relative to how far inland it stalls. Harvey is a large storm, so its precise location is secondary to the fact that it's stalling over the same cities regardless. It's going to be like a college sit-in for the next 5 days.
Woke up to feed my evil mini-me around 5 and now I can't fall back asleep. Thankfully in the last hour or so it looks like we got through another rain band - so we have had a good pause and the water has receeded a little bit. My street was previously flooded up to the back wheels of the car that is in our driveway and has since gone down significantly. The street isn't flooded anymore and I can see the ground, so that's reassuring.
The problem is, I'm pretty sure our retention pond is full or nearly full - so it's all a matter of if we will have sufficient time inbetween rains to make some space to hold more.
Good heavens!Our pond almost went over last night. Actually it probably did go over.
It turns out we are one of the highest places in the neighborhood. Completely surrounded by flood waters right now.
More downpour occurring on my side - I'm kinda already under the impression that a flood might be inevitable.
I'm debating if I should even try to save some of the shit downstairs.... Old ikea furniture and a shitty table with chairs that I don't like using...
Stuff you save is stuff you don't have to throw out and stuff you don't have to replace...More downpour occurring on my side - I'm kinda already under the impression that a flood might be inevitable.

Good heavens!

NOooOOOOOOoo! I love Franklins!
by the way, did they just not put out their fire properly, or was that fool trying to smoke brisket through the Hurricane?
Save the stuff you can't replace. Take pictures of everything.
Do you have flood insurance?
Thanks.From last night.
That pond is normally about 10-12 ft lower.
This is from NBC. Wonder if there is any truth to it action of the hawk because of the hurricane.
Of course, who would be stupid not to have flood insurance?
Your place looks worse than mine, the street hasn't filled yet, but if this downpour continues at the same rate it did yesterday it won't be long.

Ultimately when the bayous fill up, that's when you're truly fucked.
Good tip as far as saving items we can't replace.
This seems fairly typical. We build strong enough for most winds, so the flooding damage is usually the largest problem.Been watching this via Twitter. Hard to believe it's really only gotten started.
You'd be suprised how many don't have it.
And speaking of stupid some asshole in a dually decided he just had to get home in the middle of the worst of it last night. He drove through everyone's front yards ripping up yards and hitting brick lined flower beds.
