Already a tropical depression with max sustained winds of 35 MPH, Harvey is likely to become a tropical storm and possibly a hurricane with landfall predicted late Friday. Make sure you don't get caught off guard on this one!! If the path continues Galveston and Houston are on the dirty side and rains are predicted to continue through Monday and possibly into Tuesday. There will be flooding and possibly lots of it...remember Alicia? This one has very similar characteristics.

Be sure to make that PVC pipe way up high. Like a good 16' just for good measure.

last years trip to the Smokey's the harley in our group had it's water pump go out. we called the nearest shop, and they said go ahead and ride it in, it would be fine. quickest way there was to ride the dragon.

Good idea. I really hope they don't have to deal with traffic. Save the photos!!!

Hoping for the best for them and everyone on the GC.

This one could rival T.S. Allison, if it lingers for how long they're saying it can.

The news said it could reach category 4 before landfall. This means it will be one of the most powerful hurricanes to hit the Texas coast plus one of the worst lingering tropical depressions after. Double whammy if I ever saw one. Glad I went to the liquor store yesterday. :c

The lines at specs were longer than the lines at the gas station

This is true. I got all my liquor and I had 35 gallons of water dropped off from sparklets. Got food that doesn't rot and I got food that does rot but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Got Charcoal? BBQ!

I keep a storm closet full of supplies. Water, freeze dried food etc. Gassed up everything today and got 12 gallons of gas in the shed for the generator.

This is probably the last place anyone from Houston would be right now, but I am hoping you guys can give us a head count and info on how you are doing.

holding on, water getting close to the garage but seems to have stopped rising for now.

We're good here.

Cypress Creek and Spring Creek are shattering records. I can't make it to the office today, but I heard that both creeks are over IH-45. We are seeing places under deep water where there has never been flooding before. Many of the police/fire/rescue people are not even able to get in to Houston to help. And looters have been reported calling for rescue and pulling guns & robbing their rescuers. They have also been knocking on doors in flooded neighborhoods asking for help and robbing the residents. Y'all be careful.

going stir crazy

:( :( :( :(
I have a friend in Rockport & she stated that she has lost her car & her home but the family is all good!!

Unbelievable...keep it locked, loaded and ready.

we are doing good so far. Staying dry in Katy near Ave d and Morton rd in old Katy. Many parts of old Katy are under water.
I too am locked and loaded and ready to make any looter or crook a statistic. No one will prey on my home or those of my neighbors.

All good here. We barely had any issues at all. Just a minor power outage for an hour or so. I am actually at work now, one of only a few people on my floor.
How was that for a warning? :redcard: :redcard: :redcard:
You're welcome. :thumbup:

I'm working from home but I prepared for this. I'm working claims

Working from work. Luckily neither my house or my office flooded. Power out in the neighborhood, that is about as close to camping as I am going to get.
-
Just barely found out that our office made it too. I'm gonna try to drive into work tomorrow.

my classes have been cancelled for the rest of the week. Since riding a motorcycle is really a hobby, the MC industry in Houston is expecting a big hit as people replace their cars and rebuild their homes. I heard that the estimate is 250,000 cars were lost. This may turn Steve and Paul's hair white. Very sad.

I am expecting this to get worse as people that have lost everything get desperate. The good people won't. I'm talking about the thugs. Where they live is gone and everything they own is gone. They will get even more desperate and they won't go to the govt. agencies.

I'll be carrying on my side for a little while at home and when I go out.

FEMA needs to set them up a trailer park in New Orleans.
