Harvey
Re: Harvey
We came back early from Lake Charles (casino trip) because Susan was worried about our dog. We will be fine. Our home is in an area with very good drainage and we are about three feet above street level. We have lived here for 23 years and have never had street flooding. Winds are only expected to be 20-30 mph in our area on Saturday morning.
Royal Dutch Shell, Anadarko Petroleum and Exxon Mobil announced they were curbing some oil and gas output on Wednesday at facilities in the Gulf of Mexico ahead of a storm expected to hit the Texas coast later this week. The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) issued a hurricane watch Wednesday for much of the Texas coast, calling for slow-moving Tropical Depression Harvey to intensify as it nears landfall. Shell said it was evacuating all personnel from the roughly 100,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Perdido oil and gas production platform as a precaution. Anadarko said it had shut in production and was evacuating workers from its Boomvang, Gunnison, Lucius and Nansen platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Exxon was in the process of reducing production at its Hoover facility in the Gulf of Mexico, company spokeswoman Suann Guthrie said. The company said it was also working on transportation plans for staged evacuation of its personnel from its offshore facilities, expected to be in the path of the storm, to shore.
Now that Harvey is a Cat 3, many more offshore facilities will be shut-in. Waves get over 50 feet high in a Cat 3. Remember Katrina and Rita. They produced waves over 100 feet high.

Re: Harvey
We have moved as much as we can to the 2nd floor. We expect street flooding tonight and we are praying that water stays out of our home. We have enough food and liquids to last 5-7 days.
Lots of heavy rain today and more wind. So far, we continue to have electricity and internet service.
Forecast is for Harvey to move out of the Houston area by Wednesday night. Can't leave fast enough.
