Thanks for the well wishes. Fortunately all my relatives moved out of the Houston area. I have a few that live in the Dallas area.
I cannot believe the photos on twitter of the flooding damage. Seeing flood waters up to traffic signal depth is insane. Honestly going to be a weather disaster that impacts for years.
I am not in the path of a hurricane but it blows my mind that people don't evacuate when there are several days notice that it is headed that way. U.S. forecasts projected 29 inches of rain while European models had it around 56 inches of rain. Dunno about you but when I hear that amount, I'm packing as much as shit as can fit in the car, taking photos of everything I left behind and making sure my home owners/renters insurance includes both hurricane and flood coverage. Better to be safe than sorry and there is no fucking way I'm staying behind to ride it out. Fuck that.
As Hurricane Harvey nears landfall, Harris County’s top elected official says he isn’t calling for an evacuation for residents of the county that includes Houston and many of its suburbs. That’s despite Texas Gov. Greg Abbott suggesting people in Houston should head north, away from the Texas Gulf Coast.
Ed Emmett, the Harris County judge, says that while the hurricane is expected to dump lots of rain on Houston, the city isn’t expected to receive large amounts of storm surge as well. Other communities on the Texas coast are expecting that.
Emmett said he had spoken to Abbott Friday afternoon and acknowledged residents of the nation’s fourth-largest city might have gotten a “mixed message.” But he said residents should stay put, in part because it’s too early for officials to determine where the most flooding would occur.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner asked people in the city to stay in their homes and off the roads to the extent possible. He said there might be a “greater danger” in having people who don’t need to be evacuated onto roads that could flood.
