Re: Harvey's Second Main Event Begins

They said Horsepen was running like a mountain river. That's good news, because it suggests there are no significant blockages between us and Galveston Bay.
That is very good news and hopefully it lasts throughout the event. Thanks for keeping the site posted with local updates from down there and stay safe. The challenge is going to be that this event has unfolded faster, and will likely last longer, and over a far greater area, than Allison ever did. Harvey has already eclipsed Allison.

THE AVERAGE RAINFALL WITHIN THE HARRIS COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT NETWORK HAS EXCEEDED THAT OF TROPICAL STORM ALLISON (2001) IN ALMOST HALF OF THE TIME (2-3 VERSUS 5 DAYS). HISTORIC FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN THE HOUSTON METROPOLITAN AREA THROUGH THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
