The storm is not going to become a hurricane again. Not even the alarmist weathermen are reporting that. It will move over the city as a low pressure area.


I was finally able to get some sleep! Our street now has water -- ankle deep water but I'm grateful it's just that. The water drains easily in our area. I'm back watching Channel 2 and they said even if it does go back over the water it will only get to 40 or 45 miles per hour (thank God!) so you're right, no full blown hurricane. So I think we get a break until Monday night.

People don't realize how huge Houston is...

We're are the 4th largest city in the US..let that sink in for a minute

It's dry where I'm at..just everything is closed
But people are driving around, walking and I saw kids playing




for reference

chicago 234 sq miles
los angeles 503 sq miles
newyork city 469 sq miles
new orleans 350 sq miles

Houston 627 sq miles

with about 2.4 million pop our city alone has more people than the entire states of
new mexico. nebraska. west va,idaho hawaii maine new hampshire montana rhode island
montana delaware south dakota alaska north dakota DC vermont and Wyoming.

No its not, but it will temporarily move over the Gulf, not enough to rapidly strengthen but to keep a moisture feed coming in from the GOM. Either way, whether it stays a Low pressure or strengthens is really insignificant, the main threat at this point is major flooding.

Now, the reason this is still a Tropical Storm is due to the Brown Ocean effect, feeding off its own rain.
