Only the outer band of rain has reached us but fishfighter is getting a soaking.  This misery will continue for the rest of the week for the fortunate and for weeks, months, and years for the less fortunate.

21 inches of rain at Hacienda de la Staples as of this morning, and an all day rain event for today.  Supposed to be over Louisiana tomorrow.  I think tomorrow may never come.

Keep your boat ready!

21 inches of rain sounds more like an annual measurement than from one storm.

Thanks for providing news!

Looks like the predictions of Harvey sliding eastward into La and Ms were accurate. It's already happening. South end of both states already getting pounded. I'm about 200 miles from the coast and I'm still dry, but it's a'comin.. Next couple of days gonna be wet. I expect to loose some more timber, the ground is already saturated.

I just heard on the news that one part of Houston has officially recorded 49.2 inches of rain.  FOUR FEET OF RAIN!   :o

It boggles the mind.
Say when

Saw a projected path that takes it over LA and MS. Hope you folks all can ride this out. This is sure a lot of rain!

Pineywoods, you and Magic Man may be seeing this thing first hand, hopefully greatly reduced.  We should be clear of it by tomorrow morning with a little drizzle left over.  It keeps moving east and the boys in Georgia will be getting their saw dust wet.

The storm's predicted/forecast path is directly over pineywoods which will be about 100 miles West of me.   That puts me on the "wet" side but of course how much rain it will actually generate is ???

Thankfully the storm seems to be loosing moisture as well as momentum/wind as it moves away from the Gulf.  We should be OK.

The storm's eye has crossed into Mississippi, but thankfully about 150 miles North of us and we have gotten very little wind or rain.  Mostly just an on and off "get you wet" drizzle.  The threat of tornados in it's path will continue as the storm continues to move NE.

Texas Ranger,

You with 25 and those folks with 49 saved the rest of us.

Hope it leaves you well and safe!

Edge came into Memphis about 11:30 this morning.  Spawned eight or nine tornado warnings for the are 3:10 p.m. looks like the eye is about on top of Memphis.  Keep loosing Direct TV because of the heavy down pores.  Yep prayers for all along the coast and Houston.  Have two cousins Northwest area of Houston.  They are okay and dry.

Harvey passed right over me around mid-nite. Lots of water, not much wind. So far, I have found no damage other than lots of water ran through my saw shed.

Got back home last night from helping the Cajun Navy. At one point we "couldn't get there from here" as the old saying goes. Almost every road from Houston to the South, East or West was closed yesterday. It looks better today on the road closure map. going to be a long recovery like Katrina was. We only got a couple inches up here although at one point they were predicting 12". I didn't see a lot of wind damage mostly flooding. We were stationed about 10 miles from the plant that exploded. I think most of the wind damage was along the coast.
