SOME IMAGES FROM HURRICANE HARVEY

We ended up remaining dry for the entire storm, there was some concern Saturday night when the water in the street jumped the curb on our property. Thankfully the rain paused for a little while which allowed the street to drain out. That happened a few more times, but never got close.

There is significant flooding due to the Buffalo Bayou overflow on streets just a few blocks away.

Yesterday, we watched as the rescues in this area.

The airplane and helicopters stayed over our house for most of the day surveying the damage and orchestrating the rescues.

This sunset is from Tuesday night, first time the sun had shown since last Wed.

Driving rain on Monday night, just seemed it would not stop.

These last two are from Monday, when our street started to flood again for the third time since Saturday night.

This is the same intersection as picture #3, taken this morning at 9AM. Still water in it and appeared to have spread out.

HARVEY MAKES LANDFALL

Harvey made landfall near Corpus Christi, it certainly has been interesting to go through the lead up to a Hurricane.

While the eye of the storm is roughly two hundred miles to the southwest the outer reaches of the storm have hit here at home.


I started to write this on Friday night, but was too tired to finish.

Today is Sunday and it's been a rollercoaster ride, flash floods, tornado warnings and at one point yesterday I saw the sun.

 Pic # 2 Looking towards the intersection; I should note that at 9 PM last night the street was flooded all the way up and past the curbs entire street.

Likely to be off work for a couple of days.
