Tropical Storm Imelda

Bring it. A warning was just issued for parts of the Texas coast. Expected to dump inches of rain on the Houston area. It's rained off and on all day. I've gotten .3 of a inch.

Some places feet possible. Have fun!

Be careful down there. Flooding is never a good thing!

Hoping to get some of it off the western edge here. We need it bad.

We're supposed to get some rain out of it starting Thursday through Saturday. They say 2 to 3 inches and we need it.

What’s the projected path? Hopefully it moves on through quickly, and doesn’t flood Downtown Houston. I’ve got tickets to the Astros last home game on Sunday.

Man, I wish it was further south. We are dangerously dry and need a storm to come in closer to Corpus (with no real damage) so we get the benefit of the rain in central Texas. Maybe we'll get the fringes.

I'm high and dry.

That can change by morning,

I'll pass on any hurricanes any time soon. Thanks though.

Sitting in downtown Houston well into the leading bands, still no wind. Should have the eye pass over. Lots of rain.

It's supposed to come in on my good buddy Palehorse.

The current track takes it right over me in a couple of days. Need the rain, bad!

NewGulf is getting pounded.

The surfboarders are playing in the surf.

Nothing here.
Guess we'd better give the preacher a raise.

It's a really nice cool down for me.

We've got about 2/10 so far.
More to come, the eye is supposed to be just west of us later. We need the rain.

As a wise man once said,Bring It.

It’s gonna hang around for a couple days?

We need that over here. Send her packing along I-10

Y'all be safe.

They are now announcing school closings for tomorrow.

My work is freaking out...seems like Clear Lake has gotten a wee bit skittish lately.

Text notification came out "officially" notifying folks that it is OK to work remotely tomorrow. The millennials are having a field day with it. You'd think they gave everyone an extra week of vacation or something.

Doesn't do me any good, I work from home anyway.

glad my Galveston trip was a few weeks ago

Frisco wont get chit, its going straight up I-45 to east texas

Nailed it. Now moving to the northeast. I got a total of an inch of rain.

Buzz, think your right. They have really backed off on our rain chances. We could sure use a shower here.

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.

I have a friend in Sargent TX that said they got 17-19 inches of rain so far ...

Frankie says look out!

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.

I ain't had chit!

Been raining like a son of a gun for an hour

Got a bunch of that crackling lightning

6+ inches so far, more coming, Power was out for 3 hrs.

Just be glad you’re not in Beaumont/ Port Arthur.

The flooding there is horrible. Been following this on Twitter. Y'all be safe.

They're getting more than when Harvey set over them for 3 days.

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.

Here’s wishing you the best Flip!
Looks like if we make it another 5-6 hours it will be ok.

Yep, hope you make it through dry.

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.

Which bayou?

Brays Bayou

.16 here!

Why would anyone be driving in this?

I left work just in time. Everyone else that tried to ride it out got stuck at the office. Amateurs

Bill you gettin any now? Showing flash flood warning out west of Houston now.

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?

Work. I would have been in that chit if I didn't take the day off. So glad I took the day off!

I got caught out in it. I barely beat it home.

Running out of beer would be another good reason.

25 inches in Tiki, still coming down sideways

Called it. Well NWS did. They have nailed the tropical systems this year.

I was in Houston by Rice for a wedding and it rained 8 inches south of downtown. North of there maybe got an inch. Quite a few folks missed the wedding. If I didn't have an SUV I would have drowned it. Tons of cars stuck and several folks died.

Good luck to those folks.

I just checked Brays Bayou and it is FULL. I hope it stops.

I like it. My pond will run over and get refreshed. The best of it has passed me.

I'm just gonna leave this here...Symptom - Empathy, or lack thereof

lmao

More comin Bill. We haven’t had it to bad in my part of Spring.

It was a mess picking the kid up from school. I took side roads to get back home. It was exciting taking her through the flooded roads. Everybody gives me a hard time for having a tall truck but who's laughing now.

I didn't see either of your replies to this thread. No injuries have been reported.

Gotta love the brilliant minds running CCIiSD. Their awesome weather people told them at 3AM everything would be fine today and they should go ahead and have school according to schedule. By 10AM they had cancelled all after school activities and by 11 were sending everyone home early. Friggin idiots. Everyone in Houston knew the storm was going to loop back around and then head back south. But nooooo, CCiSD has to get their attendance $$$$’s

Kid just died trying to save his horse from the floodwaters.

And NWS called this band of heavy rain last night. Impressive forcasting.

35 inches and still falling here in Tiki, glad the water has somewhere to go

.20 here! Oh well.

.00000 here so far.

Hasn't rained a drop since around 1700 but the yard is filling up from the bayou. I'm monitoring it.

Smdh

Water against the house has come up 3" since 2am, it's 6.25" now. Eight more inches and It'll be in the house.

Fingers crossed. It went down a lot quicker in my area because of the absorption of the already dry ground as well as the runoff.

This your new place? As soon as they rebuild down there they have to start over it seems. Good luck!

Man, hang in there.

Wishing you all the best. The bayous should be receding shortly.

We moved in here in January but it isn't the house we are building. That house will be about 5ft higher than this one.


Water has gone down 3/4" since noon.

Stilt house is all that should be built .everywhere floods now because of all the concrete and people.
