Harvey looks ominous.  Here in Glasgow we have a mere pish of rain...

Thanks, Neal. To my Texas friends; don't underestimate what 30+" of rain can do! We've seen it before, we don't expect a lot of wind (I don't), but I am ready for 15" of rain. Since I am further north of Houston, that should be about it. If you are south of Houston and reading this from home, WTF?

Im in Hou, not much to see, but the city is stocking up for the storm

Man, nab that Dos Equis, stat!

Can't wait for it to rain again. I'll see less of my neighbour! The only downside. Heating bills,and water trickling down the upstairs wall. But less of my neighbour! Heating bills and leaking roof? Bring 'em on!!

Remember 2001 when Allison dumped 30+" on you guys, what a freaking mess! If it turns to that, I hope you have some ideas...

Too late, Karl, me and the girls already have them all. Bwa-ha-ha

Are you in a seasonal type of area? Or just having a drought?

Yes, but that 30+ was all in one day, this is going to be spread out over several days.

Well, almost. But yes, this time it looks like a whole week of it, which is way better than it sounds to outsiders. We are one of the best-drained places I've ever seen. Still, I'm glad to have my hilltop.

It's not 30 inches of rain, but it it is enough to make staying indoors and listening to music the most reasonable option today

That is always a "most reasonable option".

I am 72 feet above sea level, which qualifies as a hilltop in Houston

[Karl Henning]

Practically the Washington Monument!

Yeah, really! I didn't know there was anything that high down there. Here, it isn't tidal surge, it's rain. It would have to be of biblical proportions for me to be concerned. Now I have plenty of gas for the generator and a few cases of water, we're good for a month.

Hey neighbor! What part of town? We're on the west side, near Fondren/Westheimer.

Not worried about direct flooding to our residence, just hoping the power stays on, we may be stuck here for a while when everything else floods.

This was pretty funny - no one here likes Chicken and Waffles Lay's apparently -

Im in Katy, our power was out for about 6 hours after IKe, so not really worried about this one

It would take more than a hurricane to get me eating those rascals!

Would nuclear conflagration do the trick?

Zombie Apocalypse.

Maybe.
