how does this compare to Katrina?

Katrina was a Category 5 and New Orleans is much more susceptible to storm surge than Houston is.

The storm surge went straight up an industrial canal and that's what dropped the levees. After that it filled up like a bowl.

We won't have those problems, just a ton of rain.


Edit: Yea Corpus and Port Lavaca are totally fucced

For those interested in how this compares to Katrina, here's a documentary with input from engineers about what conditions caused the levees to break.

This my first hurricane. Harvey turned up real quick from tropical storm to cat 3.
I live in a part of Houston that usually stays dry even when it floods everywhere else.
But I'm a little nervous this time
Got my weed, my non perishables. Going to be an interesting weekend.
