Welcome to a short, extra late Hurricane/flooding update, since I was busy much of the day working on this giant post about my library on my non-political blog.
The death toll from Harvey is now up to 38.

Hurricane Harvey has brought lots of destruction and flooding to the Texas coast, but, so far, no reported deaths.
The guy who seems to have gotten the best and most footage of Harvey coming ashore seems to be Jeff Piotrowski, a storm chaser who rode out the storm in his car in Rockport while live-streaming the event.
