This isn't going to turn out well. The full calamity forecasters worried about may come to pass. Late last night, the storm began inching its way back to the Gulf. The broadened, asymmetrical storm now has access to moisture again. It is softening up the Houston area and the SE Texas coast with relentless rain, and once it has a chance to strengthen, then it will make a second landfall and go for the kill: right now, it looks like around Port Arthur on Wednesday evening, August 30th.
Houston Hobby Airport storm total is over 12" so far, but some storm totals in the area are reaching 22", and higher. It's too dangerous to travel, but it may be to dangerous to stay. Not good.
