For the gulf coast, because of the way hurricanes rotate, the northern eastern side (or right side) always comes out worst. They get the most amount of fresh clouds coming from the warm water, while the south western end gets the clouds that had already expended a lot of energy overland.
It is crazy that this storm is putting the 1900 storm to shame.
Starts raining in Houston about 10 pm Saturday night.
Devastated by midnight:

Not just historic but nearly prehistoric since it already exceeds the 500-year level.
First 24 hours not yet elapsed.
Still raining.
Overall conditions in Houston & Pasadena already worse than the direct hit by Ike.
Or Alicia or Alison.
