Harvey update for Sunday mid-morning

Harvey update for Sunday mid-morning

Tropical Storm Harvey produced significant rainfall overnight, causing the roads on and around campus to flood periodically, and more rain is expected throughout the day. Please do not try to come to campus. Many of the entrances have high water.

We recommend that you stay indoors today. If you must go outside, use extreme caution. Walking through high water poses risks, including strong currents, displaced manhole covers, fire ants, bacteria and drowning.

Students, please contact your families and let them know that you’re safe. The images of Houston on national media are rather frightening; please reassure your families that you are okay.

If you have comments or questions, send an email to cmtcomment@rice.edu.
