8. Comparing the images in Figure 2 with Figure 3, the storm surge was highest just to the
of the advancing eye at landfall, as would be expected.
Beyond the immediate shoreline, flooding from tropical storm precipitation can be severe. The
circulation associated with Harvey stalled after landfall as atmospheric steering currents
weakened. From 26 to 30 August, the remnants of Harvey produced prodigious amounts of
rainfall over the southeast Texas area. Figure 4 is the estimated total precipitation over eastern
