The National Hurricane Center was warning that since Harvey was going to be a slow moving system, rainfall may be the greatest threat:
Could possibly become Cat 1 or cat 2 storm
Just for today; I'm adding this gif of Mr. Pepperballs to all my posts. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
It was bad enough when they started naming hurricanes after men. Now they’re naming one after an invisible bunny?
Support your local puca.
That graphic says a lot! If I read that right, 36-inchs of rain in Fort Bend County?
Looks like every one of the major river watersheds in southeast Texas could go above flood stage.
That is not good.
I say amen to your prayer!
Otherwise, I’m in store for a LOT of rain. (SE TX)
Harvey heading to Central TX would do much for the rivers/lakes and drought looking land, in that area. They need the rain MUCH more than SE TX does!
Are you in SE TX, too?
It is still early, we’ll know better in about 24 hours.
Nope. The Hill Country. (Medina Lake)
Harvey looking good..I expect the NHC to increase the wind forecast..could be a major Hurricane IMO..
main story will be the rain....the storm could sit for a couple of days..just inland
Track with loops in similar to Allison which dumped 20-35 inches on Houston....in 2001
This storm is larger and stronger then Allison...
also its been Wet recently over TX(ie no drought)
good news bad/news
the 12z early model suites have shifted the storm track a little north
good news: corpus christi wont be on the bad(ie right side) of the storm with major surge into the bay
bad news: houston metro gets more rain
NHC now says major and calls the situation very concerning
Mods please change title to major hurricane expected could be first major since 2005 to hit us
Harvey could a cat 3 at landfall.
Rainfall potential is now 36" Most of Texas Gulf Coast is basically at sea level.
