I really feel for you FEM. Glad your family members got out and are in a dry place now. Looks like your troubles are on the rise though...Now that the center is back over the gulf, it will maintain or gain intensity and it's pumping everything in right over you, up to Galveston, and into Houston proper. Looks like GB's area is catching a little break for now. That may mean only 4' of water for him vice 6', but his home is on 6' stilts, so that 2' helps. Sure hope his cattle don't get trapped in water they need to swim in. Won't help the calves, but better than losing the entire herd. This whole thing is unprecedented. astounding.
Right now, the way they are predicting it to track, I may not get a drop of rain out of it. They are saying it will move north through east TX then into LA around Shreveport. I kinda feel it will go north but further to the east, like in LA, and Fred may get more than what they're saying right now. Might even get you up in TN Mike.
Hope those who can are taking pictures and video as this is going to be something to pass down through/as/for history.

Yes, the house is two story. I'd be totally afraid to get on the tippy top. But, we do have a breezeway between the house and garage that is one story and has a porch attached that runs about half the length of the back of the house. We can go out one of the bedroom windows and be right on that part of the roof, with lots of room. However, if we need to get on the tippy top of the two story part of the roof - I might just start swimming. I think I'm more afraid of that roof than anything. Pic shows the lower part of the roof between house and garage. I can deal with that! (p.s. the roof is not two different colors - must've been the angle)
big stilts... I wanna stick your house 10 feet up!!!
Me tooooo! We have a pretty good rise even past the concrete pad. Thankful to the folks who built it. Hopefully, that little rise might save us....notice that we are higher than the house next door.Eeeeeeeew
Praying for you all! And that my mom and dad stay safe and dry.
I bet falling into dirty water would be a good incentive for you to scramble to the tippy top. LOL I think you might be ok. Harvey is supposed to go back inland on the east side of Houston, which would put you on the west side of Harvey. And you already know, the east side of a hurricane is the "dirty" side where all the destruction is. Harvey is supposed to go north and rain himself out. there is hope!
