So as many people know, Texas is getting pounded by Hurricane Harvey.
Actually, technically it's decreased to a Tropical Storm now - It was a category 4 when it hit. While we weren't in the direct path, we're on what they call the "dirty side" of the storm.
All is well in our household for now. This is still just the beginning of it. We are expected to get rain through Wednesday/Thursday (I've heard both so I'm not entirely sure)
There have been at least 3 tornadoes that have touched down in my area.
Luckily we have not been affected by them. It's been pouring for hours at a time today. Basically the storm is stuck over the coast of Texas due to other pressure systems keeping it in place. This is bad news for Houston as it floods easily. There are already lots of road closures (tons of our freeway ramps go under 7+ feet of water).
The creek by our house is flowing over the bridge... there's just a LOT of water. Lots of wind too.
Everything is good for now though!
We are hunkered down and well equipped/prepared.
My parents did a good job in picking this house 30 some odd years ago, we are on the highest point of this neighborhood so this side of the street doesn't flood. The other side isn't so lucky.
If anyone is interested in more frequent updates you can follow my twitter. They aren't SUPER frequent but are more so than FA.
Catch y'all on the flip side!
P.S. On another note I might stream here and there. Especially if I won't be able to make it to work come Monday.

I'll keep a light on for you.
We are on the dirty side.
We are doing okay knock on wood we still have power. Our end of the street doesn't flood but we get stranded because everywhere else does.
We are doing okay though!
Yeah, the shit storm over here is a CONSTANT rain. Yard is filling up rn and I live near lake Houston, which is also filling up.
But I'm sure it'll be fine. We're waiting on the real bad shit to hit now.
My family lost power last night and are under a voluntary evacuation for their neighborhood due to the dam in Lake Conroe is being opened and all the ponds are at capacity. My mother and sister we're at their homes when the water entered their neighborhood. So far it's just the street and not in their yards. I hope it stays that way.
Please stay safe!!
