Harvey

[sk1]

I know this isn't 4A football related but wanted to put it here since this is the most read forum section.

Everyone stay safe this weekend with all the rain to come!
All you along the coast please update us to how things are in your area over the weekend.

[Scoop27]

I know that we'll be getting a lot of rain in Wharton County and heavy winds with possible 15-20 inches of rain
We live in Hungerford and we're worried about the situationi. All you can do is pray

Weather Channel is saying it will be a Cat 3 hurricane when it comes on shore. Mandatory evacuation is now in effect for San Patricio and Aransas Conties.

[Aesculus gilmus]

-You not fum round here are ya.

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

And I just bought a condo in Corpus Christi too! Dangit!!!

Oh well, at least it's about 40 feet up off the ground and I had my contractor board it up AND it's insured to the max in case the proverbial fecal matter hits the fan.

[Saggy Aggie]

Gonna ride this one out like we always do.... be safe y'all.

That being said, I just bought a house in Katy. We're supposed to close on Wednesday next week. Fingers crossed that it doesn't get damaged in the storm

[LH Panther Mom]

Everyone be safe! Let us know you made it out or through it, if you stick it out!

[MUSTANG69]

Heading out this morning for Eagle Pass and see how much money I can lose at the casino. I rode out Hurricane Celia in 1970. I'm a lot older and smarter now. Ain't worth the risk.

[regaleagle]

Heck no.......get the heck outta there and take a few days off for Heaven's sake. Life is too short as it is......why push your luck, Huh? There will be plenty of time this time next week and lots of work to be done after the storm......so go to a place of safety now and get some rest.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

i have to ride it out, father in law is bed bound and couldnt get him moved unless Corpus issue a mandatory evacuation, he needs EMS to move him. Boarded up just the flooding in Calallen/Annaville area i'm not sure about.

Oh goodness, that's a tough situation. Praying for safety for everyone involved.

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

It's looking more and more like Rockport is going to be getting the direct hit. The eye is about 55 miles offshore and is headed right for Rockport.

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

Harvey upgraded to Category 4. 130 mph winds and it's still offshore. More strengthening possible before landfall.

[Saggy Aggie]

They have just upgraded it to category 4, 130 mph sustained winds.

Take care everyone

[zebrablue2]

Bad ass storm, gonna be MILLIONS in damages:(
Prayers for all in its path!!!

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Lost power about 45 mins ago and strongest winds so far.

[Scoop27]

Hit Rockport around 10 p.m. Official-

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Had set my a/c to 63 this morning was freezing inside and since lost power for an hr it's still cold in the house at least

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

I'm hearing Rockport-Fulton HS has been destroyed by Harvey

Part of it and Gregory Portland lost the roof in its high school. Refugio is in the path of it next

Oh wow. I'm supposed to be travelling to the CC area on Wednesday. If I'm able to make it to my condo on North Beach, I'll see if I can make it up to Rockport to see if I can lend a hand to anyone in need, especially if they're a DL member.

[regaleagle]

Looks like Corpus and everything south and west escaped a major hit and major damages from wind and water. The water part is still to be determined in the coming days.

[MUSTANG69]

You can stop by my house and help me put all my wife's potted plants back outside. Shouldn't take more than a half of a day.

Reports of Franklin bbq on fire in Austin. Possible storm related.
:1omg!:

[Old Green]

Eye of the storm is between Victoria , Goliad, and Cuero now. Downgraded to a tropical storm now. We haven't gotten as much rain as predicted so far. A lot of damage to some buildings. They are evacuating the Executive Inn hotel. People from out of town sought shelter there from out of town and now the roof has blown off.

Have had 8 inches of rain in Hungerford so far but no damage from winds last night Hwy 59 through Buc-eees and Walmart is a ghost road as we ate at Denny's earlier today. Whataburger was closed , Fort Bend, Brazoria County, Austin County and Colorado Counties go a lot of rains. Tornado in Katy and near Rosenberg. Most schools will have no classes on Monday possiblly Tuesday.

[Roughneck93]

Now here comes the flood threat...:(

[Scoop27]

Praying we don't get too much rain for water to get in our house-I have all my valuable collectable vinyl albums stacked up on table ets
How many inches of rain did West Columbia have so far?
Who are the Roughnecks supposed to play on Friday in their first game?
Wharton is supposed to host Sealy- Colorado River will crest at almost 50 feet on Monday or Tuesday

[Scoop27]

They show scenes from Sinton on Houston TV news channel and seems they got pretty hard like Rockport

[PhiI C]

I stuck it out with my family and guests. Fortunately my house is on high ground. We did get some high winds and lots of rain. The house was boarded up and we stocked up on food and water. There was some damage to buildings and trees and power lines down all over town. We were fortunate in that some trees around my house blew down but they missed my house. I will have to check if we had shingle damage on our roof but that will be later. We were without power 24 hours and still no water yet. Overall we have been fortunate. God is good. Praise the Lord.

[Saggy Aggie]

Just got notified that Katy ISD will be closed all week, as I'm sure will be the case with most Houston area school districts.

Are all our downlow people safe and accounted for, especially those of you in the coastal bend and in Houston where the worst flooding is happening?

[Scoop27]

Needville ISD has postponed the start of the school year until Tuesday, Sept. 5. All student activities are cancelled.

[Roughneck93]

CBISD is closed until Sept. 5th.

Mandatory evacuations issued for WC and surrounding areas.

I have heard they are providing buses for people in Brazoria county to evacuate. The major concern is the San Bernard and Brazos river.

The Brazos river is nowhere close to flood level right now, but is projected to increase 25-ft in the next 24 hours according to the project i saw. There is still time to get the hell outta there

[Saggy Aggie]

The San Bernard river near Sweeny is projected to exceed its highest crest ever by more than 10'. A mandatory evacuation has been ordered.

This is for real and you guys need to get out while you still can

[1st and goal]

The Colorado river at Lagrange is flowing over 80,000 cfs. Holy Cow! Evacuations in lower areas around Lagrange are mandatory. Prayers for all in this horrible flood/storm.

Here in Giddings, we've had over 20" of rain and it is still coming down in bucket loads.

The "eye" has moved back over to Victoria. Victoria needs prayers. They have no power, and the city has shut the water system down for whatever idiotic reason. Can't flush a toilet, can't shower, no power. And all the power poles are leaning over needing replaced. It may take weeks to get all back on power. Thankfully, they are not flooding too much.

[MUSTANG69]

We haven't had water or electricity since Friday. Have the generator running but am getting tired of taking cold water baths out of the sink. Using bottled water for that. They say it could be a month before we have electricity. I can live with that but I sure want me a shower.

Our prayers are certainly with all of you. There are several efforts happening here in Springfield, MO to raise money for relief efforts. My wife and I have been able to help with a few and donate to a few.

[pirate4state]

I'm back home and back to work today. We had a lot of tree limbs down, one tree cracked, but fell into an empty lot. We'll need a new roof, but overall we were VERY lucky! Praying for all our district mates: Ingleside, Aransas Pass & Rockport have SO much damage :( Stay safe everyone!

[Scoop27]

We were very fortunate here in Hungerford as the water just reached over our front yard ditch.Had a few minor leaks in the ceiling of our kitchen which was not that big of a deal. Some small branches in the front and back yards. Think we had about 25 inches of rain spread out from last Friday though last night.
Prayers helped and prayers to those who lost more and went through hard times

[Saggy Aggie]

We got 38" at my house in Katy. Incredibly, we managed to escape with only a minor leak in the roof that lead to some mold developing. Overall, we are very fortunate thats all that happened

[regaleagle]

And now the rain continues in East Texas with horrendous amounts in the Beaumont region and outward.

[Saggy Aggie]

Scoop I don't know if you're in the affected area or not but I heard the Wharton area is under mandatory evacuation because the Colorado river is still rising

[Scoop27]

We're 7 miles south of Wharton In Hungerford-Wharton is in pretty bad shape with the overflowing of the Colorado River

[Weebe]

Did the floodwater wash all of Hungerford to the south side of Wharton?

[Scoop27]

no it isn'dt

[Saggy Aggie]

Lol...

[1st and goal]

Victoria still has thousands without power. What a mess.

[regaleagle]

All Americans need to realize this is not just a disaster that affects some of Texas and Louisiana......but everyone in our nation. There will be hardships and ripple effects in many areas of our economy caused by this disaster.....therefore it is a national disaster and should be recognized as such. It is my hope and prayer that every person will do what he can to pitch in and help those that have suffered so much loss......because really we have all lost. Now the cleanup and rebuilding will begin......we will discover the extent of the losses......not counting the loss of life, but that also. We must pray as a nation for President Trump and his leadershlip......pray as a people to come together. If we don't.......this nation will cease and our enemies will overtake us. North Korea, Russia, and China are watching intently.......already highly upset with the decisions our leaders have made in world events. Is it possible that we are being punished as a nation for allowing those in power to have their way??? When good men become complacent....evil men become aggressive. There are evil men (and women) at work in our world....and especially in our nation. If we who are good do nothing, then it is us who must suffer the penalties and consequences for our actions.....or inactions. I do not believe President Donald Trump is part of the evil......he needs our support and our prayers to be able to do what he is called to do. God Bless all of those in America that are God fearing and represent all that is good in humanity. Amen.

In our manufacturing plant in Waco, we will be running 4-day workweeks for three weeks - containers stuck at Houston Port for assembling equipment, and hardware from overseas. Many many goods come through that port. I have also prepared myself for a large number of displaced Texans relocating to our area. Schools are in full mode to plan for new kids in districts.

Gregory Portland just started school on Tuesday morning with an additional 1000 new student/transfers from Rockport and Aransas Pass ISD"s. We have had to convert our gyms and athletic turf room into classrooms to accommodate the large influx of new students. It a gigantic task schooling so many new kids to our school the administrators are doing a fantastic job getting the task done.

wow - that is a lot of new kids in one week.....

[bluecat]

Yes it is but the administrators are getting it done. We have built two new elementary schools in the last couple years so they are getting these older campuses ready to house students. Meanwhile multiple gyms are being readied to house this huge influx of students. This is a high task but it's one that has to happen to at least let these students have some stability back in their lives. The state is moving some portable classrooms to make it more comfortable for the students. Proud of GP to open up and help these families and their kids.
