Unlike Corpus Christi in the central part of the Texas Gulf Coast, Houston so far - so far, mind you - has had a mostly-easy time of it with Hurricane Harvey, particularly my part of town (west Houston) which has had the great fortune of lying so far within a gap between two of the storm's 'bands'.
The storm made landfall near the town of Rockport, Texas. The big city near there is Corpus Christi, which as far as I can tell, survived amazingly well considering a Category-4 hurricane has just paid a visit. Rockport, of course, was not so lucky.
Within the next twenty-four hours, the Corpus Christi area will begun the process of rebuilding and cleaning up, but for the Greater Houston area, the fun has not yet started. Harvey is forecast to meander through southeast Texas, dropping terrible amounts of rain on the way. My understanding is Houston will start seeing real rain beginning tonight.
This is no sprint for us, and your prayers and thoughts are appreciated!
UPDATE as of 28 Aug 1241 CDT: Houston has had a hellacious time with Harvey. Nothing short of catastrophic...
