I looked at that after the post. My cousin is in the yellow. Has Barker reached 100' yet?

House was built in 2004 and they purchased in 2014. Their house is on Beech Landing Lane.1876er said:AGnCS said:Did they know they were buying a house in a reservoir watershed?Quote:
They're expecting to lose everything.
No need to be an *******. If they made it through Allison, and memorial and tax day floods they probably thought they were safe. This is unprecedented.
Good on Jeff. He had to explain a difficult HEC-RAS problem to a bunch of journalist...
Not at 100 yet.
We live on the west end of the reservoir...our back yard literally falls off about 8 feet down into it.

This was sent by Harris County flood warning system earlier today:
Attention residents of neighborhoods bordering the Barker Reservoir
Unofficial communication from the Army Corp of Engineers has provided important information regarding homes in and around your subdivision. Due to the urgency of this information and the difficulty of getting a timely official communication from the Harris County Office of Emergency Management, your area HOAs are providing this information to you in an abundance of caution.
The information we currently have from the Army Corp of Engineers is that their weather models, in conjunction with the National Weather Service, shows that water levels inside the Barker Reservoir are expected to peak at 105ft above sea level. This will be a record amount for the reservoir and will bring about significant flooding behind the reservoir, into many of our neighbors homes and streets. The first and lowest elevated homes to flood, at 97ft, will occur around 7pm this evening, the 27th. Waters will continue to rise to peak levels on approximately September 4th, after rains have subsided and bayous have emptied into the reservoir.
--------------
It has been absolutely pouring here the last hour or two...so things are definitely getting worse in this area.
We have a friend who works with the Corp of Engineers... and is very familiar. Said they are predicting flow around the back ends of the dam at 104'.

Good info thanks, you still at home?
My cousin in Grand Lakes just had a major surgery and is recovering alone at his place.

Yes, we are at home.
If we needs assistance, we would be glad to help him.

It would be fantastic if this latest band would break off and give a couple of hours to drain.
What mechanism did they use to send that? And by that I mean, how did they connect your neighborhood with whatever electronic means they sent you the message?

Sorry. I thought you were trying to say it was their fault. Like the people that get their cars and trucks broken in to.
No, not at all.
Northwest Katy off Morton rd. We left my house this morning. Just got a text from next door neighbor they already have an inch of water in their house and rising. Which means my house is the same.
Sorry, drummer. Hopefully your insurance journey will be okay.

Does anybody know what the white oak bayou current level is at? The website says 39 feet but hasn't been updated since 545 am this morning
Which Gauge you're want?
The one at heights blvd and I-10
I missed the beginning of the PC. Did they say what they expect the water elev to be? Otherwise map isnt super helpful to the layman
Pine Forest?
Our subdivision association received it as an FYI from Green Trail HOA and MUD.

Hang in there...
Thanks, he's an Ag
When do they expect that 105' crest?

I know its a little late to ask this, but what about all the homeless people who live under highways and on the streets? Does HPD help drive them to shelters? I couldnt imagine being under a highway when this storm rolled in

I don't think he did. Way too hard to predict with more rain coming in.
crap. looks like the reservoir map shows my apt complex elevation at 96.1-97ft. it's on the north end of the reservoir though by kingsland....so i don't know if that end will start to flood first or not. my apt is on the 3rd floor so it's fine...but not the car parked in the first floor garage
Those of you downstream on the Brazos and Colorado be aware it's been raining nonstop upstream between BcS and Austin for 48 hours. It's all headed downstream.

Good question. As crazy as some of them are, instinct to seek higher ground is still there.
Inevitably, there will be some likely floating out to the Gulf by now.

right before the website went down, 15-20 minutes ago, it said it was 7.5 feet above banks. I didn't see how high it is though

Yeah, earlier on Channel 2, they were saying if the Brazos hits the predicted height, there's a chance Sienna Plantation could get flooded. Crazy.

Patna Drive. East of Ave. D and West Katy Fort Bend.
Supposedly around 1913 the Brazos and Colorado merged. If true what would be the catalyst for that to happen again???
I've heard that Greatwood and Sienna Plantation have both been given voluntary evacuation orders due to concern with the Brazos.CDUB98 said:MouthBQ98 said:

That one got sheared off by the flood. As well as the buffalo bayou gauge at downtown. Like Ron white says, it isn't how fast the wind or the water is moving, it is what the water is moving...
We're in heritage park west just northeast of you. Well our house is - we're not in it. People freaking out on nextdoor that water is starting to get into their houses. No idea how our house is doing and its killing us.drummer0415 said:foleyt said:

It's coming down by the bucket load right now. West view and gessner.
Does anyone know any evacuation centers for Katy/Richmond?
Sorry I've missed several pages preparing for water.

It is true that it happened. I think a lot more water upstream would need to happen, but also at that time, there weren't as many damns (if any) upstream to hold back water.

Sitting at my parents in CS. House so far in OF is ok, but I'm not confident. I've started researching FEMA options for those of us without flood insurance. Seems like once we file a claim with home insurance and recieve a denial of coverage, we can apply for FEMA assistance.
Coming down hard in Oak Forest again.
Come on, dry air, get wrapped around in here.
