Not posting much any longer but thought I would share this.
I have a close relative who lives in Spring TX which is just NW of Houston. We have been staying in touch since this started....got this one just a couple hours ago.

Hi, we are still dry, feeling thankful- flooding all around us!! Glued to the tv watching rescue after rescue. Up till midnight last night watching front end loaders and huge dump trucks pulling people out of neighborhoods and taking them to the underside of a flyover in the freeway system.
From there they were being taken in a furn delivery van to a Walmart where then they were bussed to a shelter. This all after spending hours out in the rain waiting for a rescue.
In another broadcast they were picking people up from the shelters and shipping them to Galveston to fly them to Dallas.
New areas this morning flooding- will it ever end !!!!
Thankful to be dry with electricity !!!
Temp is low 70's but with the wind and rain people are cold, and of course wet ...
9000 and counting sheltering at the convention center, plus so may other shelters.
Its unfreaken believable

Mind boggling to think it is only going to get worse. The set of circumstances to allow this thing to slow down and then get pushed back into the Gulf and reform only to come back and dump that much water all over again are once in a thousand year event.
