Hurricane Harvey 5yr anniversary and I just saw this pic on social media and recognized the back of my head. This must have been the night it made landfall in Rockport, before it hit us. Not many people or detritus in the EOC and everyone looks calm.

probably for the best. its looking REALLY bad for tampa at the moment. if it stalls out over top the way it looks like it will, we're going to be in for some serious problems.

She might want to get the fuck out of there depending on how close she is.

Unfortunately, this thing seems to be kicking east now so we’re still not out of the way yet down here. Plus l, the outer bands are absolutely drenching us.

It's looking right up the pipe almost for FL now.
