Hurricane Harvey
 

The hurricane is a category 2 that is expected to be a category 3 when it
hits land this afternoon.

The state has already evacuated people living in trailers, living near the shore, living in low lying areas. . . .

Lots of oil and gas production in Texas. If they shut down for a few days, gas prices could be impacted across the U.S.

WE are expected to receive a lot of rain starting sunday....:(

It's hitting Texas pretty hard. The wind looks awful. BF:hug::hug::hug:

It hit at a category 4.


Lots of flooding -- some cities are highly prone to flooding.

It's expected to just linger over certain areas and just dump rain on them for days on end. The flooding will be terrible... the wind damage has been awful, and they say some people may be without power for weeks...

I feel so badly for the people effected. I will say some good words for them all.

I think it has been over a decade since a hurricane hit land fall at a 4.
Very scary.
We will get rain all next week.
They have closed some of the schools in southern areas for monday and tuesday. These areas are prone to flooding.
It was a year ago that we had major flooding in our area, flooding areas of lafayette that never flooded before. We were fine, just some of the streets were flooded. But we were in pensecola last year when that happened so missed it all.
Some of the highways were flooded. Thankfully we had a GPS that rerouted us to safety.
Some homes are still rebuilding, those with out flood insurance hardly got any assistance from fema...many abandoned their properties or sold them cheap as is and people scooped them up to gut them and repair/rebuild to sell for a profit.

I know you plan to go out to see clients...
Please be careful driving and don't be afraid to cancel if the weather is too bad, or your local officials issue more serious warnings :hug::hug::hug:
