I hope that no one has a camper in the Rio Grand Valley now:
....there could be a tremendous quantity of rain coming for the RGV Friday/Saturday. I hope this doesn't materialize!

I agree that leaving is a good idea, but the terrain of the Rio Grande Valley of Texas is nothing like that of New Orleans. For starters. there is a 100 foot difference in elevation. Which will flood worse, pumps or not? Not everyone that gets flooded out is an "idiot".
Projections right now are that Corpus Christi, Houston, and Victoria are likely to get the most rain. Where would these millions go?
The ones in New Orleans were. They were told to leave, and did not go. Living in NC. I learned a long time ago not to try to face a Hurricane. they win every time.
"Some" parts of the Valley are expected to get up to 30" of rain. Houston can't handle that, in truth most places can't. I have been to the Valley many times. Were I there now. I would go North, and West, as far, and as fast as I could. I have seen what not even an inch will do to the area around McAllen. Makes lakes where there was none, And after seeing what 10 inches of rain did to the flat lands of NC. No way would I stay in the flat lands of Texas and try to fight 30 inches. It will flood for a hundred miles. Notice what it does with just a summer rain storm.
But, y'all do what you want.
