Harvey came ashore August 25 as a Category 4 hurricane with high winds and a destructive storm surge. After it moved slightly inland, it swirled in place over southeast Texas for a few days, dropping record-shattering rain and flooding several areas.
SB: Yes, I think Harvey matches what Iâve feared. The last catastrophic rainfall event in Houston was in 2001, Tropical Storm Allison. Harvey is very reminiscent of that, a storm that stalls over Houston and continuously dumps rain. Whatâs different is not so much the amount of rain, because Allison had 35 or 36 inches. Itâs the geographic scope.
