After disastrous rain around Beaumont and Port Arthur, Harvey surges inland

I did not have a chance to write a full update on Harvey today, but it made another landfall in the early morning hours near Cameron, LA.  Extremely heavy rain sat over the Beaumont and Port Arthur (TX) area for hours, producing even worse flooding than what Houston experienced.
