The City of Houston will activate the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at 6:00pm to assist City Departments and regional agencies as they coordinate the response to today’s expected severe weather, including heavy rain, flash flooding, and strong winds. The EOC, located at the Houston Emergency Center in north Houston, is the central coordination center for Houston's emergency response.In addition, the Office of Emergency Management will raise the City's readiness level to 3 (Increased Readiness) which begins the process of internal preparation for anticipated emergencies.Because of the potential for life-threatening flash flooding and tornadoes, City departments have begun pre-staging assets citywide to assist in high water and swift water rescues. "Our City Departments are already working to help make sure we are ready to meet people's needs ahead of this storm," said Mayor Sylvester Turner, "This includes looking at staffing, as well as coordinating information and resources within the City as well as with our partner agencies across the region."**Conditions**The City of Houston remains under:- Flash Flood Watch from 12:00pm (noon) Tuesday through 6:00pm Wednesday due to the possibility of Flash Flooding.- Coastal Flood Warning from 12:00pm (noon) Tuesday through 12:00pm (noon) Wednesday due to the expected rises in sea level associated with this storm.With rainfall rates expected to reach 4-5 inches over the next few days and isolated totals over 7-10 inches in some areas, the City expects to see street flooding and the potential for flash flood conditions beginning Tuesday and into Wednesday afternoon.In addition, this storm has the possibility of bringing strong winds and tornadoes to our area, which can cause damage, bring down trees into streets and result in power outages. Residents are advised to avoid non-essential travel beginning Tuesday evening, and wait to hear the status of conditions before traveling Wednesday. 4951

Is it REALLY expected to be that bad? The last couple of overly-hyped weather events fell flat.

Please be additionally careful out and about in any type of severe weather we might endure, my friends, as you are MOST precious cargo.....                                                                                   "If the water looks deep, don't even creep; Pull to the side, and stay alive"

Yeah, cats always figure out a way in
 
@Stealth83: My girl got out once-DH didn't know until I came home and saw her jumping at the back door to get in.  I have no idea how long she was out there, but she had some good height.
