@Wildthings , Barry, I know you are wet, but are you still above water?? Just thinking about you as we flew home yesterday...….
Hope all the gulf coast folks are okay. I know these slow movers can flood just as bad as a more powerful storm.
Thanks Garry. We came out about as perfect as you could want. There were quite a few areas in the SW Houston area that received greater than 10"
Reports this morning is Beta has moved across Galveston Bay heading NE and soon to be just a memory. Most of the heavy bands were slightly west of us during this encounter. My son (20 miles SW) got 12 1/2", my BIL (15 miles west) got 8 1/2". Yesterday my totals were 1 1/4" but during the
night it rained up to 2 3/4". Here's that band that upped my totals last evening. If you never have been in one of these bands imagine a bucket of water being poured on your head for a while LOL
Compared to Hurricane Harvey's 52" (5 days) this was a nice shower. Here's a comparison of Beta to Harvey(right)
I think we are done with tropical weather this year even though officially it ends in a month or so
My weather guys are promising pretty weather here shortly and a significant cool front within a week!!
