Updated Harvey rainfall totals - unbelievable stats

As Harvey continues to slowly drift through southeast Texas, dumping more rain, here are some updated rainfall amounts:

  • South Houston: 43.00'
  • National Weather Service - Houston: 42.11"
  • Pasadena: 40.20"
  • Houston Hobby Airport: 38.90"
  • Baytown: 37.40"
  • Bush IAH: 28.33"
  • College Station: 15.73"
  • Galveston: 14.20"
And, check this out! Three of the top 5 wettest days in Houston have occurred with Harvey since Friday. Records for Houston go back to 1930.

So Harvey will make another landfall (#3) today (Tuesday) and that should be the last one. It will accelerate on to the northeast by Wednesday & Thursday. This will lead to some very heavy rains in Arkansas, but amounts won't even come close to half of what they saw in Texas. 


This storm has been quite devastating and it's safe to say, the name Harvey will be retired after this season. There won't be another tropical system named Harvey given what it has left behind.
