I have a really good buddy that I haven't heard from in a few hours. He lives on Mason Creek just west of Fry / south of Kingsland. Any idea how that area is doing?
He should be fine. That is exactly where we are at and we are fine. Raining but no flooding so far.
Thank you guys
Awesome, live tv is the bestjetch17 said:

Watching 13's coverage of the helicopter and water rescues is amazing. Heart rendering now where the reporter is helping rescue a building full of elderly handicapped trapped on the 2nd floor.
This is the best live TV I've ever watched .

I would like to think our own citizens would care for their home property better than NOLA transplants
Good friend of mine is 1 block away. He says no problem- should be ok at 1400 Harvard
Those people getting out of the cages with huge smiles is the best. Everyone of them was beaming.

My sister lives on Rhinebeck, just north of Dixie Farm Road (actually, she's closer to Astoria) just west of I45, and just south of Scarsdale. She left for Denton the storm hit. Anyone know what it's like down there? Does she have water in her house?
Not sure if or how many houses flooded but the news stations were reporting from right around there (the RV dealership) because of the high water. I think they took a pretty good lick there last night.
Just took a lap around Westheimer Lakes South. Lakes are getting full especially in Canyon Lakes.
If anyone in WL need to get out of their home we have a spare room on N Lakefair Ct in the Canyon Springs section.

To put this into perspective,
Memorial Day flood: 162 Billion gallons
Tax Day flood: 240 Billion gallons
Hurricane Harvey: 340-370 Billion gallons and counting.
Allison in '01 dropped 38.6" of water. This storm may exceed that, but also consider there are a million more people living in the region now than then. So the total $ will be much higher, in addition to inflation. I can't find the total in billions of gallons, but Harvey > Allison at this point.
As for releasing water, the Army Corps of Engineers mission statement with Barker and Addeeks, is to save Houston. When they were built no one really lived upstream/behind the reservoirs. Their job is to regulate the water flow to avoid flooding downtown or overflowing Buffalo Bayou AND release enough to not overstress and destroy the levee itself.
It's all numbers and yes, they may have to release enough water to relieve the stress of the dam to avoid catastrophic failure causing more damage.

What areas are going to be affected by the dam releases?
Anyone know if the strip centers/lots off Fannin and 610 near NRG flooded? I have a car in the shop near there
I took some pics and a video at Studewood and White Oak bayou about an hour ago. It was right under the pedestrian bridge for the hike and bike trail. Idk how to post video or pics but would if y'all want to see and tell me how

Channel 2 just said they're going to try and post the maps.
Sounds like Green Trails may be flooded from reservoir release. If you live there I would prepare to leave tomorrow AM. Won't flood until tomorrow afternoon.

Streaming 13 from up here in Dallas... Their coverage is amazing. They should earn a few Emmys for this.
I'm pretty sure that's a real life Grand Theft Auto 5 clip.jetch17 said:

Ok so how many local tv networks are working on bugets to buy boats and old military trucks so they can get out to these areas faster for the next storm
Looks like they've removed this post... odd.

13 is killing it. That lady they rescued earlier went something like this:
"I was on 20/20 once"
"Really? What'd you do to get on 20/20?"
"Drunk driving." *smacks microphone
"I was on 20/20 once"
"Really? What'd you do to get on 20/20?"

Thanks much.
Well if they help people like 13 is doing it will be worth itQuote:

Did you see the update that not all of those areas are evacuating? The Township and the Creekside Village Association sent out clarification that the notice was intended for areas that flooded in 2016, like Timber Lakes/Timber Ridge. Those streets listed above are not flooded now but are at a higher risk for flooding if the creek reaches 112 feet (four feet higher than the 108 at Memorial Day). Some of the houses in Timarron/Timarron Lakes that back up to the nature preserve had water up to their back patios during the Memorial Day floods.LostInLA07 said:

Staff, can you say why my post was removed? It was just of Meteorologist Tim Heller's fb post

This is a stupid question considering I grew up there, but where are the release points?
Satellite loop is looking better and better for you guys. Hope it continues.
