Yes
Not sure what kinda salary Linder is bringing in but it ain't enough.
The water on 45 where San Jac crosses under is incredibly high. Just drove by there maybe 45 mins ago.
Poor Jeff looks like he hasn't slept since Friday...
There is no way for him to predict exactly what the next 48 hours will do nor precisely where these dam releases will affect folks the most.

I wonder if he has slept at all.
I'm at city center and can get into I-10. Does anyone know whether I can make it all the way to San Antonio on I-10?

I10 looks to be closed just west of Katy
I-10 Closed at Pederson Rd (Loves Truck Stop), but I don't know if you can around Hwy 90 (doubt it tho).
Daughter is west of 288 near 518. Street has water but house is dry. Coworker's brother is east of 288 off 518. Coworkers brother is being evacuated now.Cromagnum said:
I hope this BS of the west side of 288 doesn't screw over the east side of 288. It didn't last time the Brazos flooded but who knows.
Does anyone know about hwy 99 headed south towards 59. Thinking maybe I can take that to get to Victoria
Have them apply to FEMA asap. I worked Katrina, Rita and Ike, and they took the apps in order received. For Rita, some waited 3 months or more for an inspection (what I did) due to the Katrina backlog. Also, FEMA told Houstonians to apply ahead of time when they thought Rita was going to come in at Galveston....totally swamped the system.1996 said:
Does anyone have a good link for steps to be taken (insurance, fema, etc.) if you do flood. My parents have flooded and with the scope of what is happening I want them to have a head start on recovery. TIA
"ROGER - OUT"
Wife and I are just south of I10 between Dairy ashford and Kirkwood. Anyone else here and staying? I was thinking about packing us a bag and trying to get to spring to be with my Folks
Does she know what neighborhood he's in? We've got a number of friends in Silverlake/Southwyck and haven't heard anything from them.SPF250 said:Daughter is west of 288 near 518.

Lakes on Eldridge "could be affected" but are under mandatory evacuation? The subdivision looks to be 1-2' above the spillway level. Trying to understand the level of urgency for my parents in that neighborhood. Has the mandatory evacuation been officially announced anywhere?
Think it's Silver Lakes.

We should be ok then, just heard from my boss and others saying Notting Ham forest had some water coming up and into the homes on the Bayou. To be expected, but that's stil close
We're in Ashford west and i feel pretty good. I walked up to the bayou and we've still got a little breathing room. Wife and newborn and we are staying. How far south of bayou are you?
Any idea what path that takes? Does it go downtown? I hope it doesn't go to White Oak Bayou.BizAg83 said:
San Jacinto River to Lake Houston then ultimately to Galveston Bay.
Guys, please just stay put unless you absolutely HAVE to leave.
To the female reporter who asked Abbott during the press conference what his thoughts are on the conflicting evacuation messages he and Turner sent, **** YOU. This is a national emergency and you are trying to bring up something we are way past. All officials are working together to fight the biggest emergency since Katrina. She should be fired.
We are pretty far north, right by Sewell and Jeep Dealership, and that little Shopping center off of I10

99 is closed at 90 due to high water.
I don't know why but this just really got to me moreso than most stories I hear about stuff like this.

To those evacuating/leaving, remember this story. Make sure it is safe. You are far safer (from drowning) by staying in a high place in the home or a home in your neighborhood, or the roof.

Any evac tips from Lakemont on Westpark tollway and Mason? I'm trying I get my parents to come up to Fort Worth with me.
I-10 is closed from 1463 to the Brazos river overpass near Sealy.
shoot me a PM, I live across the beltway (where there is not a flood risk, and no risk anticipated.) looking at google maps, i *think* they might be able to get out by crossing at tanner. i can check it out if needed. we have room for them with us.gd28 said:
Parents are in Lakes on Eldridge with nowhere to go. All friends/family are inaccessible. What options do they have?
This dude on 2 is hilarious. Thats a cat in a bag.

If they haven't closed the Stavinoha bridge yet they will. You could take 99 to 359 to 723 to 59 south.

We're in country village an staying put as well
I haven't seen it reported only heard from a resident, take the info for what it's worth knowing the source.

I just started a thread on the main Houston page for folks to post insurance and FEMA recommendations since the mods are keeping this focused on damage and evacs (which I support). There has been some good advice posted here already, thought it would be good to get it all in one place.
