What was the impact of Hurricane Harvey?

On Thursday August 24 th, Harvey's impact on the Middle and Upper Texas Coast seemed almost certain and potentially devastating. Not only was Harvey forecast to become a hurricane by Thursday evening, but it was expected to strengthen and make landfall as a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) on Friday (see forecast ). Worse yet, once the storm moved inland, it was forecast to eventually stall and meander over South or Southeast Texas for days. Thus, Major hurricane Harvey was not only forecast to produce devastating winds, but extremely heavy and excessive rainfall, producing devastating and historic flooding over areas especially east of the center of circulation (still most likely just north of Copano Bay).

What is the highest wind speed in Texas?

The highest measured peak 1-second wind gust was 145 mph at 8 meters AGL (152 mph at 10 m AGL) recorded at the Aransas County Airport in Rockport by the Center for Severe Weather Research. The next highest measured wind gust was 140 mph at 10 m AGL recorded at the Aransas County Airport in Rockport by the University of Florida's Florida Coastal Monitoring Program (FCMP). A peak wind gust of 133 mph was also reported 2 miles ENE of Port Aransas at approximately 13 meters AGL (127 mph at 10 m AGL). A Texas Tech mobile "StickNet" platform located just southeast of Aransas Pass, measured 108 mph wind gust at 2.5 m AGL (135 mph at 10 m AGL).

Where was the highest tide in Texas?

The highest maximum storm tides were observed at the Aransas Wildlife Refuge , where the storm surge levels were more than 12 feet above ground level. Storm surge in Port Lavaca was also more than 10 feet and at least 6 feet in Port Aransas. Elsewhere across South Texas, storm tide levels were from near 3 to 6 feet above ground level at Seadrift, Port O'Connor, Holiday Beach, Copano Bay, Port Aransas, and Bob Hall Pier.

What is Harvey known for?

Besides wind and storm surge, hurricanes and tropical storms are notorious for producing torrential rainfall and flash flooding. Unfortunately, Harvey was unique. Instead of moving inland and farther away from the coast, Harvey stalled over South and Southeast Texas for days, producing catastrophic devastating and deadly flash and river flooding. Southeast Texas beared the brunt of the heavy rainfall, with some areas receiving more than 40 inches of rain in less than 48 hours! Cedar Bayou in Houston received a storm total of 51.88 inches of rainfall which is a new North American record. However, South Texas residents were not spared from this impact from Harvey, as heavy rainfall and flash flooding were observed over the eastern portions of the area. Several flash flood warnings were issued during the evening and overnight hours of August 25 th and 26 th, as torrential tropical rains impacted the coastal counties of the Coastal Bend, as well as the Victoria Crossroads region. 24-hour rainfall amounts ending at 7 AM Saturday August 26 th indicated that widespread 10 to 15 inch rainfall amounts (with isolated +15 inch amounts) had fallen over portions of San Patricio, Refugio, and Aransas Counties. Most of the eastern half of South Texas received 3 or more inches of rainfall, with much lower amounts farther west. As Harvey drifted farther north, the heavier rainfall shifted with it, with 24 hour rainfall amounts ending on Sunday August 27 th of 3 or more inches over much of Victoria County and portions of Calhoun and Aransas Counties. The heavy rainfall shifted northeast into Southeast Texas on Monday. By then, 15 to 25 inch storm total (72-hour) rainfall amounts were observed over much of Aransas and Refugio Counties, as well as portions of San Patricio and Victoria Counties. Rainfall totals for Harvey decreased dramatically farther south and west, with portions of Webb County receiving no rainfall at all!

What rivers in South Texas have been flooded?

All of this excessive precipitation resulted in major river flooding over the Guadalupe River and the Garcitas and Coleto Creeks. Near major flooding was observed on the Copano Creek near Refugio, with moderate flooding on the Mission River (See the Hydrology Section for the pertinent hydrographs). Other rivers and creeks over the eastern half of South Texas saw rises, but most did not exceed flood stage. As of this writing, the Guadalupe River at Victoria is expected to crest around 31.4 feet, while Bloomington is expected to crest around 30 feet. If these verify, these will be the second highest crests at these two gauges since records have been kept, with the record stage at Victoria occurring on October 20 th 1998 (34.04 feet), and 34.00 feet at Bloomington on October 21 st 1998.

How high was the storm surge in Port Lavaca?

Storm surge in Port Lavaca was also more than 10 feet and at least 6 feet in Port Aransas. Elsewhere across South Texas, storm tide levels were from near 3 to 6 feet above ground level at Seadrift, Port O'Connor, Holiday Beach, Copano Bay, Port Aransas, and Bob Hall Pier.

Better Styling

The Beast is capable, but the proportions are all messed up. It's fine to make the windows bigger for better outward visibility, but the greenhouse on that thing is absurdly large.

Improved Truck Chassis

El Monstruo will most certainly be large and heavy, so it'll need to be build on a truck chassis again. But we have to do better than something that was the basis for delivery trucks, as was used on the Beast. The leader of the free world deserves better.

Drone Launch Pad

If Rinspeed can put a drone on the back of a BMW i8, the president can sure as hell have one on his limo. The commander in chief's limo drone should, however, have both a high-def camera (so that the White House Press Office can have plenty of limo-driving b-roll on file) and a machine gun.

Machine Gun Blisters

After having a conversation about security with a Secret Service patrolman in front of the White House a few weeks back, I realized that little in this world is as important as protecting the president.

Escape Pod

This would be something like a luge. If the shit hit the fan and the commander in chief needed to move command to a more secure location, he/she could lie down on the floor and wait mere seconds for a wheeled steel cocoon to envelop him/her, and shoot out the back of the vehicle.

Electronic Dimming Bulletproof Glass Bubble Roof

Have you seen the windows on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner? They dim automatically, so no need for a window shade. The entire roof and sides of El Monstruo should be made of five-inch-thick bullet- and blast-proof glass equipped with an auto-dimming layer.

Hot Tub

This we're throwing in there in case former President William Jefferson Clinton ends up becoming the country's first First Man. Whatever you may think of Hillary, you have to admit that ol' Bill would be a pretty slick First Man.
