I finally fell asleep from exhaustion. Dry for now, but street still holding water, and it is a light drizzle. Neighborhoods north of here were taking on feet of water last I heard.
Finally lost power some time this morning. Hang tough, Aero. |

Local police departments are asking for volunteers with flat bottom boats to assist with rescues. Coast guard helos are in the air and beginning air evacuations.
Its raining heavily here, but still have power and are comfortable. |

Doing fine on the South side of Katy. Staying dry for now. Break in the rain, currently. Exhausted from lack of sleep due to warnings all night. Did watch most of the F1 race this morning.

When Allison came through they had 100's of millions of dollars in research lost in the flood water, since then they added flood gates to protect the hospitals in the med center. Apparently with ben Taub the water was entering through the drainage/sewers.

Just watched a Blackhawk operating south of here, and I can hear an airboat, too. No doubt they are plucking people from their houses. I can watch the water level in the street ever so slowly go down, but it seems every time we start making progress, more rain.

NW Houston here. We are dry at the moment, the street directly behind us is flooded.
Harvey needs to relax already. |

This is as close as it has come so far, it wasn't too far from the house, but it would have had to climb the hill pretty good.
