Anyone know if the Parking Spot next to Hobby floods enough to worry about my parents' car being flooded out? They are due back Wednesday; I told them not to hold their breath.

What floor are you on?

---

First, I live in a house. It's elevated.

Basically, I live close ti cedar creek (flooded) , brother livrs at apts on washington/studemont

I just don't think getting there is worth the risk.

---

My brother sent me this, this is Ella and TC Jester. White Oak bayou is over the top of the bank, I don't think I'd move

---

I live next to Rainbow Lodge and fled this morning through waist deep water. The waters have only risen since I left this morning.

Mom pressuring me to leave to my bros apartment but I'm not sure how shepherd/durham/Washington looks. Not willing to risk it.

You can't cross over I-10 and Durham at all. The new raising canes is flooded. Can't cross over TC jester bridge either. Yale at i-10 is all underwater

I was told Washington avenue between Durham and tc jester is fine now. Last night it was flooded

reading that the portion of cinco ranch near barker reservoir has a voluntary evacuation

https://coveringkaty.com/2017/08/27/portion-cinco-ranch-area-voluntary-evacuation/

Latest update fcst:
Harvey will move off the coast tomorrow afternoon then drift east for 12-18 hours before turning northward and moving inland between Galveston Bay and Matagorda Bay on Tuesday evening. Nudged track about 25 miles to the east in this advisory, taking the center over Houston during the day on Wednesday. Indicating winds may increase to 50 mph, primarily over the water to the east and southeast of the center. By the time the center moves past Houston on Wednesday winds will be down to about 35 mph. By Thursday morning, Harvey is predicted to be a remnant low pressure area over northeast Texas.

Maps show some spots with water on the highway.

290 is closed until Sept. 1 south of Hempstead and north of Hockley.

Hwy 6 is closed north of Hempstead until Tuesday at least.

---

Serious question. Where did you see that 290 would be closed till Sept 1. I can't find that anywhere. Speculation or fact please

Isn't it good if the eye goes over us? At least as far as flooding is concerned?

Washington is open between Durham and between tc jester. Drove it about an hour or so ago

My in-laws tried to drive on 290 from College Station to the western Houston suburbs and it was closed at Waller.

West Katy in firethorne here...continuing to just rain buckets. We had a nice 2-3 hour lull but it's been going strong again for some time. Anyone know how bad old Katy is?

I'm going to give this another shot.

I don't know how to use the imgr app to post pics, but here's a Twatter link to White Oak Bayou at 43rd about an hour ago.

Yes, and an eye at 35-50 mph is manageable.

Would think farther east the better.

No worries - had a buddy stop by. Everything looks OK at the moment. I'm on a pier and beam foundation, so at this point it's going to depend how far above 500 year flood plain this goes in the neighborhood. Best of luck to you CDUB.

CDub, does it seem like we are still trapped in OF? Wondering if this water recedes enough, if an escape can be made to the north/nw.

Spring Creek was about 6" from coming in daughter's house before they evacuated to our house this morning.

You might be able to get out of the immediate hood, but you aren't getting very far.

Sign say "Prairie"... View?

Might be river rats (proud to be one personally) and good ol boys coming in from Waller? Lots of duck boats there.

This is probably a stupid question, but what are the consequences of opening up my drain clean-out next to my house to let ponding water drain in?

It just happens to be right where water rises in my yard, and the first place water could start to get in to the house.

Would this cause my toilets and other drains to potentially overflow? I assume this is why I wouldn't want to do it...

those are definitely Louisiana plates
