Yes it has and certainly an August that will be remembered forever, particularly for Texas and portions of SW Louisiana. Our plan regarding this Topic is to change it to a Global Setting which will appear above the Main Weather Forum Page and be visible in both the Hurricane Central Section as well as the Main Weather Forum Page. This Topic will remain open and folks can post throughout the recovery and rebuilding Phase of the aftermath of Harvey. This Global Setting move will show up has an Announcement and that will be done on September 1st. Once again I personally want to thank EVERYONE for you help throughout this Historic Weather Event for our Local Region, our State and for our Nation. We know we helped inform our Neighbors well in advance and saved lives and assisted in getting everyone prepared in making their decisions for their Families, Friends, Extended Family, Neighbors and Co Workers. The Nation Weather Service/Houston/Galveston has expressed their Thank You to our efforts here as well as our TxWeatherBoard Facebook and Twitter feeds. The road ahead will be long, but we will bounce back better and stronger than ever before. Again my personal thanks to our Staff, Pro Mets NWS/NHC/WPC/Local/State/Federal Official and particularly Jeff Lindner. Jeff deserves a tremendous amount of credit for being a calm voice as the flood water rose and continues to being a calming voice as the Rivers and Reservoirs rise. Take some time and thank the First Responder and the Volunteers. If you can, please volunteer to help your Neighbors in need. God speed everyone.
Thanks Srain for your leadership and all of the Mets and citizen/weather geek contribution here. This has been one of the longest weeks I can remember since last Friday. We were REALLY LUCKY in B/CS to avoid a 1994-like flood despite 20 in of rain...a lot of Aggies and their families have been affected in the Houston area. There are teams of Aggies on the ground trying to help. It's great to see the water subside. Hopefully, rains a minimal on Tuesday and the cooler, drier weather after that aids in recovery! My best to all for speed and safety in rebuilding and recovering.

Just let that record rainfall year sink in for a minute. It's been 117 years since the 1900 Galveston Hurricane Catastrophic Event.

It’s frustrating when you have family members in areas that you cannot help. Advising someone to sharpen their ax and put it in their attic because it’s too late to evacuate makes me wonder how weather communications are getting garbled in the situation rooms. I see and hear good sound weather forecasting and then this happens.
I had two guest rooms ready for evacuees, but no one ever showed up. Without giving my opinion that will surely get my post deleted, I will just say I hope we can figure it out.

My sister in Nederland paid some guys $50 each to help with debris removal. Keeping a tally of things like that will help with insurance claims. It’s easy to forget to take pictures, especially when you’re stressed. They need proof. My sis in Port Arthur, owns a Farmers Office., her first picture was on the boat during rescue, not one in the house. On the other side … some friends are homeless with no insurance.

Sister #3in League City, by some miracle, did not get flooded. She did, however, end up in the hospital from dehydration…walking a distance in the heat to deliver food. She did not know that A road was closed. And the hospitals are packed. She’s ok.

I won’t be traveling to the golden triangle any time soon to help relatives because of road closures, but I’m watching for a clearing. You know what they say…Oly fools rush in ! Safety first.

Hello all. First, I would like to say thank you to Srain, and all the other mets and posters on this site who helped me with updates on the reservoirs while I was stranded in the memorial and beltway 8 area. I was rescued by boat Wednesday and I am safe at my moms house. What a crazy, crazy week or so.

Secondly, Jeff Lindner is the man. I always was a fan of him and now he's up there at the top for me. He couldn't have handled this any better. There is a gofundme for him to go on vacation. Which I believe is well deserved!

Thanks again to everyone and hope all is safe.

Jeff just posted on facebook that he is not allowed to accept the money to take a vacation
Instead he will use the money to donate to charity - cuz yeah, that's the hero he really. So continue to donate and lets help him with his charity fundraising!!!!

I make the comment two days before Harvey hit land to release water in the reservoir but no one pay heed. The multi-million home estates got flooded because after Harvey left 3 days later and the reservoir release water. This are area West of Gassner and South of I-10.

Now, on 9/5/17 the TV news is saying that there is a class action lawsuit for multi billion dollars against the party who did not act days before Harvey hit.

I was wonder what are those who responsible were doing or thinking 2 days before Harvey landfall. Were they thinking that let wait and fill up the dam first because Houston is in a draught? Or they are thinking the reservoir has lot of room to accommodate the 55" of rainfall all over Houston.

What ever it is the reason, clearly somebody were indecision and incompetent.

This should be a lesson for all the states that faces future hurricane. Those who are responsible for the dam / reservoir should act to release the water days before hurricane hit.

As Houston grew, officials ignored 'once-in-a-lifetime' chance to spare thousands from flooding

Comparison of the big Allison flood (2001) and Harvey (2017) across the Houston area. There IS no comparison. Entire county 30+ inches.

As we end September, I would like to share some personal thoughts regarding Post Harvey and the amount of Recovery our Region has yet to face. Daily I am in Recovery Areas that were highly impacted by Flood Waters. I have personally been into homes that had a minimum of 5 feet of water standing in homes for a couple of weeks before the waters receded.

Everyone that went through Harvey is experiencing some form of emotional stress as well as many with extreme financial stress as they face in rebuilding. Some of our neighbors will not rebuild, particularly those that have endured previous flooding the last 3 years.

I encourage those that can help, to reach out to your family, friends, colleagues and extended family with a kind word, ask what can I do to help, ask what do you need. It could be as simple as giving the families a break with a night out for dinner, offering to watch children so that the adults can have a date night. It’s these little things that ease the stress of the moment and offer hope of a normal life in the future. More than anything, be patient and kind with each other. I know that the Recovery and Rebuilding phase is going to take many months, if not years for some.

Also take time to hold our children closely and remind them that better days are ahead. Weather worries are strong in our Region. Many have become afraid of the sound of Thunder and heavy rainfall. I personally am being very sensitive to our potential rainfall outlooks and do my best to be honest, realistic and encouraging to those I deal with daily that the flood waters are not rising to the levels we experienced with Harvey.

This has been a once in a lifetime experience for many of us and will continue to be. We will be here on the KHOU Weather Forum daily offering discussions about our weather, whatever it brings. I want to thank Everyone including our Staff of Moderators for stepping up over the past month. I will be around, but my postings will continue to be limited due to the ongoing Recovery and Rebuilding of our neighbor’s homes and lives following the Harvey Event.

Houston will never be the same since Harvey. It is a new reality.

The Weather Prediction Center issues its Final Rainfall Report on Hurricane Harvey. Some very interesting graphics that Forecaster Roth worked up showing there are simply no comparisons to Claudette (1979) and Allison (2001) due to the expansive nature of the 6 day Historic Flooding caused by Harvey as SE Texas.
