I just have to say I'm not happy with CCISD's response to the entire thing. Pretty much everyone south of Houston announced yesterday afternoon/early evening they were closing schools today. CCISD decided they would't make a decision until they met at 3AM and then didn't make an announcement until around 4:30AM. By 5AM, we had three different automated phone calls and multiple texts telling us school was closed. The notification was nice, but come on, why the H didn't you just close yesterday afternoon like everyone else in the area and not have to wake everyone up between 4:30 and 5AM with phone calls.
Thanks, Rich

We got about 14 1/2 inches here on Tiki, no worries here. The Galveston streets flooded, but they do that in a normal rain.

We were at 12" when I got home at 1am. Started raining again around 7 and looks like it's gonna be all day. Our house got 4ft in it from Harvey, hope we can stay dry this go around.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Our house got 3 feet in Harvey. We are getting pounded. Drove out to check the bayou and its only at half capacity now. It looks like the system is moving faster now so hopefully it keeps moving and gets out of here. Power keeps flickering.

Just got more in the last 30 minutes than I got in the last three days I lost my TV signal after the above photo. They make that stuff up about more info. How can you get more info if there is no TV signal?

I got caught out in it. I barely beat it home. Running out of beer would be another good reason.
