I'm concerned about several things...
A whole town is somewhat destroyed.Oil prices. Lot's of oil refineries down there.
And, odd opportunities to go and help clean up the aftermath. Which, the faster that happens, the sooner they will recover.
Wow.
I cannot imagine 51" of rain, in a 24-48 hr period.
This is wet.

Back in the 1979 a Tropical Storm Claudette Parked over Alvin, Brazoria County, Texas.
Result was 42" in 24 hours.
I was on the northeast edge in Pasadena, Harris County, Texas. We got 9"-13".

Mr. McMillan,
How were you able to find that?
Do you have an app for that? Are you one of them that can't forget anything?
I can't remember what I ate for lunch on Monday.

From what I saw on the news, Rockport really got hit, so it's doubtful they have anything left.
One boy lives in Baytown (Houston area) and he has 6"?ñ of water in his house and shop. Another boy lives about 20 miles South of Lampasses, between there and Austin, and he apparantly never got more than rains, not the high winds.
I have a brother that lives North of Marshall and haven't heard anything about his status, probably far enough inland to not get the brunt of the storm.
Just in case you are wondering. Weather hasn't been bad near Marshall. On and off light rain started today. Major rain has gone east

In Google Chrome, if you right-click on an image, it will offer a search of Google images for the identical or similar images as an option. It's cheating, I know, but looking at the photo I could tell it wasn't Houston and I wondered where exactly it was taken. NOLA was the likely candidate, which Google Images confirmed was the case.
Unfortunately, none of my browsers do not have the search Google images. I did some poking around for the past hour and none of the help pages provided the answer I need.
Searching images in that fashion could be useful from time to time, but I have other things to do before I head out to work. Perhaps, if I don't get too distracted this afternoon/ evening, I will do some more research to see if I can find an answer on the wonderful internet that actually works for me.

Thank you. This will come in handy from time to time.
My roof is toast but I can't eat it. I thought it would taste like chicken....
Spam and eggs.
I had no idea of how big Houston is. They say the outer belt that circles Houston is 180 miles long...
It does not matter how far anything is away in Houston, my wife can get there in 30min or less.
From NE Texas?
Uh, I drove from far southeast Houston to far northwest Houston at about 2:00 a.m. on January 1, 1987 with no one else on the road but 100 Houston cop cars. I believe that took well over an hour, especially as I had no desire to fly past any officers with nothing else to do but assume I had consumed significant quantities of the libations most Houstonians had been consuming throughout the evening. I was clean, but they didn't know that.
If you kept your rig 'tween the ditches, yeah, they knew.
