SAY A PRAYER … Harvey Continues to Ravage Texas as Houston Flood levels keep rising …
Harvey is the flood of a lifetime. The rain just keeps coming and coming and coming. Area of Southeast Texas have been devastated by Tropical Storm Harvey, with some areas drowning in nearly 40 inches of water. Some parts of the state are bracing for another beating with up to 20 inches of rain.
Forecasters say Harvey, which made landfall in Texas as a Category 4 hurricane on Friday night, will move slowly to the northeast throughout the week and shower some parts of the state with another 15 to 20 inches of rainfall by the end of Thursday.
Certain areas to the west of Houston could see as much as 50 inches of rain by the time the storm is over — which would be the largest recorded total in Texas history.
By Monday, more than 2,000 victims in Houston had been plucked from the catastrophic flooding, which left roads, homes and cars across Texas submerged in water.
The death toll has rose to 14 as tragically family of 6 believed dead as their van was sept awaty trying to flee the flood waters.
Six members of the same family are believed to be dead after their van was swept away in floodwaters caused by Tropical Storm Harvey over the weekend, Houston-area television station KHOU reported Monday.
Two adults and their four great-grandchildren were trying to escape Sunday afternoon when their van was overcome, three relatives told the station.
The children’s great-uncle, who was driving the vehicle, managed to crawl out before the vehicle became fully submerged in water, KHOU reported.

The southern portion of the storm has been pushed back off-shore in the Galveston area by a large high moving in from the NW. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico will allow Harvey to reorganize and move North over land East of Houston. The outer bands are spread out over several hundred miles where they will create additional heavy rain.
The photo of the boat storage in either Rockport or Aransas Pass is actually just the curtain wall destroyed which could have been designed on purpose to be easy to move in order save the main structure. Light weight steel angle with attachment to the main structure spanning ten feet or more will not stay in place in winds of 60 or more MPH.
