Sure there has been monetary damage, but has there even been a reported death yet?

It's too early to tell since one of the major threats is flooding from sustained rainfall over the course of days. And another threat is the potential of it going back into the gulf, strengthening and coming back into Texas.
Also it was a category 4 IIRC hurricane when it made landfall, and wasn't it pretty much a direct hit on a coastal city? There's likely lives lost from that, unless by some miracle EVERY evacuated. But it's not like a high score for the hurricane's death count is going to appear on some neon board, and it's a storm still in progress so the full damage even that's just been done now won't be known yet. --- I am snazzier, hot, hot rant.

Probably not. More likely people are smart enough to take appropriate precautions and have the means to do so. As for deaths, there is one confirmed:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/26/us/hurricane-harvey-landfall/index.html Besides, we're talking a category 3 versus a category 5. And Katrina will remain unique in its devastation due to the unique geography and infrastructure shortcomings of New Orleans. --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Katrina made landfall as a 3, in actual fact this one was stronger at landfall. Going to wiki, it actually made landfall twice. Once as a tropical storm, then returning to the gulf to return as a 3 by the time it hit Louisiana. The more you know. --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!

The hurricane only just landed and you are already trying to claim it's not a big deal. People have already died from it, and it hasn't even gotten halfway through its deluge yet.
We can hope for the best, but for now we should take all the precautions in case the next week piles on further inches (or feet) of water. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. ... Copied to Clipboard!

No, quite a few towns near the coast got 2+ feet of rainfall during the time period, so yes, it has been pretty bad from a flooding standpoint down south.

Sorry I couldn't see into the future, like the mayor of Houston who had everyone evacuate. To be fair, it was dumb to claim that this storm is underwhelming when it wasn't even half way done running its course. And it's curving right back into the gulf, most likely. From the tone of your first post you were obviously very skeptical. You ate your own words. This is probably WORSE than Katrina. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I downplayed the hurricane on Friday and now my house is flooded and I'm staying at a family member's home. Since we live near Addick reservoir I've heard it may stay that way for weeks.
Honestly, I'd say people were downplaying Harvey way too much. I was looking at reddit before Friday and people were posting about it not being all that dangerous. --- Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.

Harvey dropped nearly 4 times more rain than Katrina so far, and that's not the end amount either.
