“This event is … beyond anything experienced”: National Weather Service‘s ominous warning on Harvey

Since Friday, the National Weather Service has described the impacts Hurricane (and now Tropical Storm) Harvey in superlatives, with forecasts stating the flooding would be “catastrophic” and “life threatening.”
Now, nearly 50 inches of rain (4 feet!) are in the forecast as Harvey stalls over Houston, and the Weather Service is stretching to find the right way to describe the risk.
They’re calling the situation “unprecedented.”
Long-time weather journalists and meteorologists are saying this language is as dire as the National Weather Service gets.
Rains could last through the week. Five are reported dead already. More deaths may come. This situation is likely to get worse before it gets better.

This is one of the few situations where tax payers actually get some of their hard earned money back instead of giving it all to the leeches of the world....

We continue to lift you all up in our prayers.
We, in KS, certainly understand the instant tragedy of tornados (on top of your hurricane.)

Even FOX news is billing it at a once in a MILLION year rainfall event. I was not aware they were keeping records back then.

My youngest daughter is a Houston Firefighter. She spent 16 hours yesterday on a big truck rescuing people then went straight from that to a rescue boat. She is very tired but pushing on. I love that girl! I bet lots of Houstonians do too.

Everyone I heard from yesterday evening were okay.
Some aren’t responding but could be cellphone battery issue.
So far, so good - I think.
