I'm glad we got our game in last night!

I'll tell ya one thing, Lynn Ray would use his Indian instincts and instantly make this rain stop before kickoff if he were still head coach....

 

But we would also be suffering through that offense...

Don't worry folks, it'll get hot again. We always have period of "indian summer" in September.

 

Let's hope we have plenty of highs in the 70s the next couple of months.

I don't really know how they can estimate such things, but I heard that Harvey dumped enough rain to fill a 100,000 capacity stadium over 75,000 times.

 

Prolly the same way "they" estimated that.

But we would also be suffering through that offense...

 

Well played, Sir. Well played ...

 

That draw tho...

7 inches sounds reasonable, 50 is hard to imagine.

 

That's what she said.

That's what she said.

 

I know right.

Here's the article that I saw. I think the guy is a reporter from the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.

Hurricane Harvey has produced historic rainfall amounts in southeast Texas. If we took all of that rain and dumped it in the Great Lakes, it would raise the world's largest freshwater source significantly.

The current estimate of total gallons of rain from Hurricane Harvey is 19 trillion. Ryan Maue of Weatherbell.com gives this estimate using doppler radar rainfall estimates. Maue looked at how much rain fell over the surface area affected by Hurrican Harvey.

Some areas of Texas have tallied nearly 50 inches of rain. 

What if we took that 19 trillion gallons of water and dumped it in the Great Lakes? How much would the water levels go up in the Great Lakes.

 

For a one inch rise in water level on a Great Lake:

Lake Superior needs 550 billion gallons

Lake Michigan & Lake Huron need 790 billion gallons

Lake Erie needs 170 billion gallons

Lake Ontario needs 120 billion gallons.

 

So to lift the water level of the entire Great Lakes just one inch, it would take 1.63 trillion gallons.

 

The 19 trillion gallons of rain in the past few days over Texas would raise the entire Great Lakes 11.66 inches. That's almost a foot of water over the entire surface of the largest fresh water lake system in the world.

 

If all the water went into Lake Superior, it would rise 34.5 inches - almost three feet.

Lake Michigan and Lake Huron would rise two feet.

Lake Erie would go up 111 inches. Obviously that's not possible. The lake would spread out in size before obtaining that size of water level rise.

Lake Ontario would rise 158 inches, or about 13 feet.

Maue estimates 1.25 trillion gallons on Harris County, TX. Houston is located in Harris County. If we took Harris County rainfall and put it over Kent County, Michigan, the county where Grand Rapids is located would be covered with 126 inches of water. That's 10.5 feet of water. Only part of the roof peaks would be showing on ranch homes around the Grand Rapids area.

This should put the amount of rain from Harvey in perspective.

Just got off the phone with my Accountant. He says send money, then upon further review he said send more money, then one last time he called me and said send more money.
