Hurricane Harvey

@scottalanmiller It all happened so quick. I first heard about it on Wednesday and then they were just expecting a tropical storm. Yesterday, it was supposed to be a Cat 2. Now it's a Cat 4.

Our local weather (Lexington, KY) mentioned it was going to gain due to the high water temp - nearly 90 deg. That is a massive amount of energy.

Thats always been the bad thing about the Gulf. The water stays warm and fuels these things.

I have already seen one FB post about watching out for alligators... photo of one near a truck

@scottalanmiller, @Dominica, @Texkonc, @NetworkNerd, and I are far enough inland that we won't get any thing more than a scattered shower or thunderstorm from one of the arm bands of Harvey.
Nice to see that I'm forgotten...

You are even farther north than me.

Gas here went from $2.19 a gal to $2.39 already...
Yes, but that has nothing to do with the refineries.

We had this after IKE. Like 30 states worth of lineman and electrical workers. IT was some boys from TN who fixed the lines outside my office.

Technically, you are further north.

@storageninja Nice, but its just for Houston. Got anything for Big D?
The Big D can go... Sigh, I'll be nice to Dallas... use local weather

So far just like but steady rain all day in Waco. Haven't heard of any flooding nearby either.
-
Not even rain up here. We had a sprinkle this afternoon, but that was it.

I cannot tell you already how much Texas appreciates this.
KHOU (ABC station in Houston) is already evacuated and flooded because of this storm. WFAA (ABC out of Dallas) has already began supporting the Houston area in weather reports because of this.
Meteorologists are anticipating another 2 feet (yes, FEET) of rain over the course of the next 2-3 days as Harvey has seemed to take a vacation on the Texas coast before he decides to move off. There are no steering winds to push Harvey on. Therefore, he is just sitting there, stalled.
