    So far, so good...

    We live in Cypress, a suburb on the NW side of Houston (a bit south of Xmarker Dunbar, in Tomball), approximately 30 miles from downtown Houston.

    For those of you unfamiliar with Texas geography, the hurricane made landfall at Rockport, 187 miles SW of Houston, which put us on the "dirty side" of the storm (that is, the area receives the most rain).

    We're pretty far inland, so storm surge isn't a factor, and given the entire Houston area is low lying, our immediate area is at a decent elevation and well drained.

    We've been fortunate in that we seem to have generally been just outside of or on the edge of the major bands of rain passing through the area. That said, we've still had 16.75" inches of rain in the past 36 hours or so, and there have been reports of tornadoes in the area.

    Forecasts indicate a couple more days of rain ahead. Flooding will likely continue long after the rain ends, as the water from the north drains down through the creeks and bayous.

    Please continue praying for the folks along the Texas coast. Looks like Beaumont is getting the worst of the rains now.
