OT Hurricane Harvey - Now Trump-free! (3 Viewers)

[riverman]

This is gonna be a big storm. Most likely a tropical storm when it loops to the Houston area. Expected 25 to 40 inches of rain in next 5 days. For perspective, Portland gets 44 inches per year. Average for Nation is 35 inches per year

Hope you and your family are safe from it all man.....best to you through the storm!

Looks like the swamp is fighting back

Categories aren't the end all, be all though. Katrina had a storm surge much bigger than Harvey will have IMO. Harvey's a different beast all together. Basically like Tropical Storm Allison, but 3 times stronger.

Just to unite us for a few mins...

Edit: Random, I know. But, this is one of very few vids that actually gives me occasional tears of joy.

This is going to be a Top 3 hurricane in U.S. history in terms of how much damage it does. IR loop shows convection exploding in the past half hour or so. It's very possible this thing could be a category 4 before landfall.

Last hurricane to make landfall as a category 4 in the US? Hurricane Katrina

Convection? Storm surge? Uhhh....I'll take your word for it.

Thanks for letting us know. Watching the national news and the flooding looks horrific.

You stocked up on food and water? I image the grocery stores are cleaned out.

Flooding is a strong word for my neighborhood. Can't get out of my neighborhood. The stuff you see on the news is not me
