Update from Houston, where we are about to be underwater. 2 inches last hour, 4 more expected in my area in the next hour.

The area slightly west of me, near the Brazos River, just got hit with a mandatory evacuation. River is expected to crest at 55 feet. Average this year is maybe 20. Streets in and out of our neighborhood are closed now. Small tornados touching down around us as well, lots of them. If anyone is watching radar, we are in the red band to the west of Houston.

My family is fine. We’re keeping an eye on the sky. It will be raining sideways and gusting hard, then suddenly stop for a minute or so. The “stop” is when it’s eerie.
