Hurricane Harvey Live Thread Part II
Various ^ | 8/26/2017 | Various

Posted on 08/26/2017 4:39:50 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Rockport TX about 10:00PM CDT Friday night. Top sustained winds were 130mph. Rockport High School sustained heavy damage when a portion of the roof collapsed. A senior housing complex collapsed. The Rockport courthouse sustained major damage with “a cargo trailer halfway in the building.” Multiple tornadoes reported in the Houston/Galveston areas. There are reports of scattered structural fires and a shooting was reported in Corpus Christi. Residents along the San Bernard River were advised to evacuate and most TX Gulf coast counties are under flash flood watches.

Many locations are under a boil-water notice. Power outages are widespread. President Donald Trump promptly granted a Disaster Declaration to Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s request. More than 700 members of the Texas Army and Air National Guards, Texas State Guard and the Texas Military Department have been activated and are positioning themselves throughout the state ahead of Hurricane Harvey and its anticipated landfall later this week. Ahead of the storm, FEMA sent supplies from its warehouse in Fort Worth to a staging point at Randolph Air Force Base near San Antonio.

There are not enough cameras/photographers in the national meedia to cover such a huge area. Still, if any news people are still in Port Arthur, there should be some interesting footage in the next couple of days.

Fox Business reports Exxon refinery in Beaumont shutting down as Harvey approaches.

Gone for the day to work. Can follow the thread but no TV (though can catch major events on Houston TV streaming).

Sure, but you know what huge egos the news characters have. I remember a CNN reporter about 8 years ago pretending to be stacking sandbags in a Fargo flood, and when she thought the filming stopped she dropped the sandbag routine. Unfortunately, the complete footage was shown on a comedy show.

I bet she’s never been on a jet ski and certainly didn’t expect her first ride on one to launch from her foyer.
