I was in Houston a week after Harvey finished and got partially swallowed by ‘quick mud’. Very scary situation. I lost a pair of valuable shoes in the process. The residue of the water level in a city park was about 20 feet above the water line. I’d call that more serious than hype.Ugh. Sounds like Houston all over again. Let's hope not.
Oldlady, not being a dick, but it wasn't that bad here when Harvy hit. Construction on I-45 caused all the flooding. Where my old house was got flooded bad. My house was a loss 100%. We burnt it down after insurance looked at it and told me we would get nothing. That area floods naturally, and being surrounded by rice fields didn't help, but even then, only about 12 houses were wrecked. Harvy was nothing but hype and the gimp In Austin scamming tax payers out of money. Berry looks like it will be the same.
Yeah I'm watching the weather folks do this delicate dance...I feel kinda bad for them (I'm a lifelong weather geek. Not I hope those annoying armchair kinds that think they can forecast and clap back at actual meteorologists---I just like to follow storms and stuff, and what they say. Amateur forecasters bug me. But I digress.)
Anywho, I don't think the storm itself is that bad...I think they're warning people because New Orleans should by all rights sink into the sea. That said I don't think they're going to get as much rain as they first thought, thank God. Now 12 inches when they first though up to 20. So maybe not as bad
