My brother has a house on the Intercostal in Corpus, he went down Thursday night (they live in San Antonio) to secure it, and was chased back to SA by Harvey on Friday.  I tried to get him to install cameras there when he bought it, it would be something to watch.

Here's the view off his middle balcony, looking WSW.  The Gulf is about 1mi to the east.  I imagine that looks a bit different today...

Every time I hear the name.....all that comes to mind....

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Y'all it's been a long minute since I've posted here, but my house i. Houston is dry and has water/power and I have plenty of bottled water, food, and recovery gear in case anyone needs help or a place to stay. Stay safe out there folks

Here are the two pics my brother's neighbor sent him yesterday... the boat in the foreground is his neighbors boat, it's totaled. Oddly enough, it was up on a lift, but I think the wind and tide surge must have wrecked it. My brother's boat is behind it.

The second photo shows the damage to my brother's boat... the transom is destroyed. It doesn't appear that it's taken on water, but who knows how much damage the rest of the stern took, let alone the rest of the hull. There is supposed to be a dock to the right of the boat... it's gone, and the middle deck is pretty much destroyed. My brother and his wife went down today to see how it turned out, I've not heard from him yet, and I don't really want to bother him.

"The breadth and intensity of this rainfall are beyond anything experienced before," the weather service said. "Catastrophic flooding is now underway and expected to continue for days."
