I've got Ed Brandon on Ch 13 now and he pointed out that this isn't a surface level closed low - it's upper level. If it were surface level, it'd be a TD or maybe TS, with high wind speeds.
He thinks the "eye" is about on top of Humble right now. I still haven't caught Doc Frank on Ch 11 yet (whom I trust the most) and they're back to network.
Is Ed Brandon still around? He was on when I lived there some 20 years ago or so and he didn't look that young then.
Yea, I heard Brandon say that too. Yikes I see a truck the nose of the truck completely submerged in the water.

It's quite impressive from the satellite, and it doesn't look like it's going to go away anytime soon.
It wouldn't surprise me to hear that some areas receive over 20 inches of rain before this is done.
