Hurricane Harvey Aug 30 2017, 8:47 am ET Even before Harvey again made landfall earlier, Port Arthur and Beaumont were pummeled by 26 inches of rain over 24 hours — doubling the previous record for one day of rainfall in the area, according to the Weather Channel.
The San Jacinto River was mentioned earlier. Jeff Lindner of Harris County's flood control district and local (Houston) news repeated that two gauges were 'out' on the San Jacinto River. I don't know if that affected flood stage readings or not.
7pCDT/8pEST: Tropical Depression, winds 35mph, moving NNE 8mph, pressure 998mb. Heavy rains spread more inland. You'll also notice in the 2nd image (5-day rain totals to come still) that little ball of moisture in the SW corner of the Gulf of Mexico is our next system trying to develop...will need to be watched closely for heavy rainfall potential next week into already flooded areas of the US Gulf coast as it moves generally northward but we're a few days out from specifics still.
4aCDT/5EST 31 August 2017: Winds 30mph, moving NNE 10mph, pressure 998mb.
This is the last advisory from the US National Hurricane Center (although they will occasionally update position of what used to be Harvey and some relevant info like additinal rain total reports for awhile). All future Harvey/storm information related to what used to be Harvey is now handled by WPC ( http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov ) & your local National Weather Service offices (see http://www.weather.gov ).
I mentioned Crosby, TX a few days ago on this thread -- Arkema chemical plant was flooded and had unstable chemicals. There have been fires and their predicted explosion did happen. It's still burning.

Love this story. Jeff Lindner, a Meteorologist with the Harris County Flood Control District has been working tirelessly reporting on the rivers and bayous, and the reservoirs. So someone set up a fund so that Jeff can go on vacation. He said he can't believe it, that he was 'just doing his job.' If you want to read more on that just search out his name and story.

Nice!! I saw on social media he was actually answering peoples specific questions almost literally around the clock! Nice to see someone engaged like that especially given the responsibilities he has during such an event.
