I am in Houston also. I was in Missouri (Chillicothe) for the eclipse and then on to Hamilton and Missouri Star Quilt Company (yes, it is as great as everyone says!). Then my niece called about Harvey and I was fortunate to be able to change my travel plans and got back into Houston late last night. Glad to be home with my cats and so I can be here "just in case". I have learned to make hurricane preparations at the beginning of June so have plenty of supplies and don't have to brave the stores.

Hope everyone affected by this storm stays safe!

Houston is expecting lots of rain over the next 5 days. Hopefully it will come in waves & have time to drain off some between those waves. My DD's office in Houston flooded 2 times this year & she doesn't need a 3rd flood. It takes her anywhere from 6 months to a year to get back to "normal" with clients & such each time it floods. We feel relatively o.k. at our home & we did get a generator put in after Ike (since we were out of power for 30 days after Ike). So we should be o.k. as far as power. We are on a septic system & water well so we should be o.k. with that as well as long as the generator works.

Am in Austin. Been cloudy all day, and just this second received "Breaking News" from our local newspaper that Harvey is now a Category 4.

I also just heard that the storm has increased to a cat 4. cashs_mom, sounds like you are well prepared but still be careful. Hunker down and stay safe! Prayers for all living in the areas affected.

Well look how quickly things change. Now it is a cat 3 hurricane. No dancing in the rain with this storm. Stay safe.

Check the time stamp on that info. As of 45 minutes ago it was cat 4, and NOAA has it currently listed as cat 4. It was cat 3 four hours ago.

I have a niece in Corpus Christi. Just found out she is safe and evacuated farther inland. What a relief!!!

Harvey made landfall near Rockport. I don't know where its going from there. There are lots of computer models out there. I'm going to stay up for another hour or so and watch the coverage to see if I can get an idea of where it's going

Watching all this on the weather channel. Am high and dry in Indiana. Tell us all about the trip to MSQC.
