A not to be named tropical system

For some reason, Stevie Ray Vaughn's Texas Flood comes to mind.
Hope you have the high ground.

113.5 feet ASL is high Ground....

Mrs. Beard is having PTSD. And I am flying to Boise today and returning on Thursday...maybe...

That's the worst part with the missus being stressed about the weather, I hate to leave. I got back from a business trip out of town the day before Ike hit. I'm really glad that I did to.

Quit messing with these floods. Come up to Virginia and visit your brewery. Stay dry!

Wow. I knew it was supposed to be wet the next few days, but I'd not seen that graphic above. Yikes!

I was supposed to have left the country for business the Sunday at the beginning of Harvey. I was quite pleased when they cancelled all the IAH flights so I didn't have to make that decision/trip...

Seriously... What have you guys done? You keep getting hammered. :(

Take care champ.

Weather reports say it is similar to Harvey, a High Pressure system is blocking it from moving north and the depression is moving very slowly... thus lots of rain. I suspect a lot of people are going to have some form of PTSD...

I was stuck in Romania/France for Ike. I was one of the first people to fly into Bush they day it opened. I had to "position" myself in Minneapolis!

More like Allison. Rain fall, except near coast, should be 1/4th that of Harvey. And the rain is not falling where it will fill the Addicks or Barker reservoirs.

Just upgraded to Tropical Depression. Still possible to be upgraded to Tropical Storm.

Very slow moving storm. It will take 12 hours to go from just south of Houston (Angleton) to Spring/Woodlands.

It is now tropical storm Imelda.

Slow is right. Just a few sprinkles today, but you can watch it spinning just south on the radar.

Lots of water spinning around out there.

And I'm outta here...

Imelda is moving faster than expected.

throw some shoes into the eye

I am guessing she will change course and head to Hawaii,.

Pick a pair.

Look out ALABAMA!

It slowed down overnight. But it appears to be producing less rain. Only 8-15 inches, which is still a lot.

Boise is much quieter, cooler and drier...

Really s l o w with almost zero wind.

Damp, but otherwise (thankfully) uneventful in central HTX, and otherwise mostly dry north of 10 and west of 45 today.

Build an Ark. Put two of every beer known to man on board. Most important, save the worst beer for last and hope it dries up before you're forced to drink the last beer.

You'll want to leave Boise before the next fire season...

Central Houston got the rain today. Big mess. All the usual street flooding.

Airport closed. Diverted to OKC. Driving back.

I think I spotted you on the highway...

Our grandson's pre-school closed early, so the daughter got off work and then came and grabbed the other grandson. She said that my wife would never have made it to get GS#1 in the boxster due to the standing water near the preschool. She made it home with all of the grandsons.

I was working from home today. What I heard was 7-10 inches with some spots to the north east or east of Houston getting as much as 15" in the last 24 hours. And another 4-8" predicted for the next 12 hours. I'll probably just WFH tomorrow too, but I'm sure I'd probably be able to get to work in the morning if I wanted to.

I've seen pics from folks that I know in the suburbs with plenty of high water in various neighborhoods. We're fortunate to be high and dry where we are despite being <.5 mile from Buffalo Bayou which regularly floods.

It appears to be drifting back at us.

Rainfall totals so far.

Had you tried to fly into IAH, you may have been stuck there anyway. The underpasses leading in and out of the terminal area are under water.

Wow. Had not seen that pic.

The metro bus service shut down, so all of the folks that went to work on the bus today are screwed.

It's 73* and calm and quiet without a drop of rain in sight outside right now. It's been like that for at least an hour, maybe two.

Great, now we will hear news that people drowned walking home from work. Great day for Uber and Lyft drivers though. I'm sure they will have tons of requests such as "get me as close as you can"!

Made it back about 830PM.

Better late than never. I hope you didn't have any water issues at the casa.

I think Houston is done for a while. I don't think it's rained in about 12 hours, and they are only predicting <.1" for today.

Houston at Main and Richmond.

Familiar scene these days as in old days.
