not sure which post you're replying to...but the dam's original intent was to keep buffalo bayou from just flooding everything in the city and downtown
Is anyone able to check out a house Inc Port A for me?
I'm stuck in Galveston until these waters recede and it would be amazing to get a close up video of the house...
On the flip side, I will be down there as soon as possible so if anyone needs anything checked out let me know - it could be a few days though.

After being dry for a good while it looks like things may be picking back up in League City.
Ssme here in Pearland. The water was finally receding from my house and now the rain is picking back up.
Don't build a dam that cannot hold water up to the top.

I don't think anyone is getting to PortA anytime soon.
Ad***** has been out there for 50 years
It is more so that neighborhoods have been built on what was rice fields west of there.

Anyone know of satellite donation sites? I have a bunch of clothes to donate but am not going to drive it into town from NW houston.

Starting tomorrow only residents 18+ with Port A drivers license will be allowed in for a 6hr window. Come in from 361 only, no kids no adults without Port A license.

Of course the wife and I left town, and didn't come back early enough to beat the floods. Our house is on Barker Cypress about 2miles south of 290. I know the feeder for the Barker exit coming inbound on 290 is underwater so I heard, any other routes that may get us home?
I live at the Heights apartments directly south of A***** Dam Rd on Park Row Drive. Trying to figure out how much this release will effect us.
As an fyi almost all hebs closed at 3 today for partner safety and we are trying to open at 9a tomorrow to prevent anyone driving in the dark. We are only asking partners that can get there with 100% safety so we may be shortstaffed and we are receiving no trucks so we may not have everything. This message is for those of you who can get to and still may need supplies.
Any links to digital versions of these maps
Dude, I wasn't trying to be an ass. No sarcasm was meant in my post.
Family in Sienna Plantation getting emails that river expected to rise higher than initially expected and starting possibly Tuesday homes may be inaccessible for 5+ days.

As close as you are to the release point, you may not see much of a difference. Further down where more water gathers from other sources will see more impact.
i suspect that channel there at the release point is going to stay contained.
He's confusing.
Basically upstream rain on it's way is causing the flooding to the homes to the west. Therefore they are releasing downstream to Buffalo Bayou.
He's making it sound like the release is what's causing upstream flooding

The map on news 2 has it as I've described. I have a picture from the news can I email to someone to post? How would I do it from iPhone?
You can upload using the imgur app and share the link here.
Man he's handling it well. They are firing questions left and right. Plus looks like he hasn't slept in couple dayshypeiv said:

They just said all maps should be distributed shortly
Can confirm I am that guy who lives on the cul-de-sac of Rhinebeck. And even as of now have a dry house. 2 of my neighbors, however, did get a small amount of water into low lying areas of their homes. The only way for me to know specifically about your sisters home is if you gave me the address and I go check it out from the exterior.
He said there will be PDFs of the maps released
They couldn't spring for some easels?
I can't hear all the questions, but his answers make it sound like a few of the reporters are asking dumbass questions.
Agreed. I think he's handled it quite well and explained it pretty clearly..BQ_90 said:Man he's handling it well. They are firing questions left and right. Plus looks like he hasn't slept in couple dayshypeiv said:

Right, was just saying the dam wasn't built to keep Cinco dry, just so happened growth happened in what used to retain water to keep from flooding Houston.

How the hell do you post from the imgur app? I cannot figure it out at all. That's why I used my Twatter to post that short vid earlier.
We're getting hammered again at Champion Forest and 1960.
These reporters are dense
There's one lady that keeps pressing the "how much will this flood downstream?"
