Just East of Houston - wish us luck!

53. We had a train of rain on us most of the night and the storm ditch behind the house is

only a foot from breaching. The ditch is 40 feet deep! Thankfully, We are just out of the train and have a relatively clear radar for a while to let it go down. The local rivers and bayous have all spilled over their banks way ahead of their peak flood levels which are coming with all of the water that fell to the North.

Rita and Ike which were direct hits were nothing compared to this rain wise. Glad we don't have their wind to contend with! That is a big, big blessing!

Looks like my firm will be doing Hurricane claims for the next couple of years. We just finished the BP oil spill (mostly 10,000 cases to a little over 100). One thing we can count on is insurance companies to attempt to screw victims and contractors to do so as well.

Meanwhile we still have to get to Thursday without the house flooding and with Harvey coming at us! My mother hasn't been able to sleep for two days and is now up watching the disaster on TV.
