Worth, from looking at the radar, you have a bunch more rain before it stops. I am glad to know you are on high ground.

They'll all be at your house, Worth!

Stay safe friend.

AlittleSalt · August 26, 2017

You don't want that kind of cats and dogs inside your house.
What I've seen forecasted - it could rain over 10 more inches there Worth. Be careful my friend.

Too much of anything is not good, that includes rain too.
I rather have drought than flooding.
You Texans, stay safe ! I hope this will be over soon.

Rockporter, so glad to hear your house is still standing. Hopefully you will report that the damage is minimal, then we can all do the happy dance!

Worth, snuggle up with Smokey and stay put.

What Jillian said ^^^^^^^

Worth1 · August 26, 2017

More heavy rains foretasted tonight.
So far I have had over 10 inches of rain and can expect maybe 6 more before the night is over.
Then there is tomorrow and the next day and the next and so on.
Smokey came out and scolded me because I was on the porch and had to come back in.

Be careful of your druthers - our 8 year drought is maybe over, but the groundwater will take more than 10 years to replace IF there is enough rain every year.

Too much, too little can be bad, and too much in a couple hours can be terrible.

Well, we can return home, but we don't have any services except tainted water because the water treatment plants have no electricity to clean the water. My immune system cannot handle bad water.

Here is my city website info. State Troopers and National guard is keeping things in order in my hometown.

NOTICE – Hurricane Harvey

Public Notice
Hurricane Harvey

We expect to receive up to an additional 15 inches of rain in Ingleside as it comes back into our area.
At this point there are NO electricity, phone, gas, or internet services to the Ingleside area; however, the State Troopers and National Guard are allowing residents with proper photo ID back into the area. This is “Enter at your own risk” due to no utility services. There is a curfew from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Water is being trucked in. It is our understanding that Highway 37 is clear to get back in the area.

At this time there are no fatalities and no injuries. If you know of someone needing medical assistance, please let us know their name/address/any medical concerns so we can check on them. We will not be able to provide you responses, but we can provide this information to the local authorities to check on them for any medical needs.
Currently there is a Water Boil Alert for the residents of Ingleside. Boil your water for at least 2 minutes before using. It is okay to shower with, but not for brushing teeth, drinking, or cooking with unless you boil it for at least 2 minutes.
IISD Superintendent Troy Mircovich stated he will not consider opening the School until after power has been restored and the campuses have been secured. Please monitor the school districts Website and Facebook page.
We will continue to provide updates as we can from this same media source. Please check back with us often.
Our next scheduled update is by Noon Sunday.

END STATEMENT

Thank God no human life was affected medically.

Besides needing the services to be available, you will need to have supplies available for repair. Maybe go back to take a look and assess what will have to be done, but wait until the storm is gone. Then you'll have a better idea of what you will need to bring with you and what can be bought there.

AlittleSalt · August 27, 2017

Rockporter, when you choose to go see your home, be careful along the way. Many times the routes to get home are worse than when you get there. We live in an area like that.

Rockporter · August 27, 2017

And, the oxymoron to the entire thing is "boil your water at least two minutes before consuming.

Now, hmM. No electricity or gas is in service, so unless you have a high heat propane cooker for outside you can't boil your water. Now that is an Oxymoron!

Yes, my neighbor may be going back tomorrow. He'll let me know what he finds. With the storm returning I think we are just going to stay away unless we can find and be able to afford a generator at least.

It's going to be some really hard weeks ahead for everyone.
