The explanation given was that the reservoir was filling up at a rate faster than water could be released.Quote:
Devastor- re: Ad*****...trying to determine why houses in purple would be affected negatively if they're releasing into Buffalo from the Langham Creek gate in the south part of the map at the levee? Wouldn't it relieve all those folks to the north?

In Coles Crossing (barker cyp north of 290) and getting heavy rains, friends in back of the neighborhood off telge about to take on water if they haven't already.
Starting to get sketch at our house, checking water every hour out front.
Having a 3 month old really makes this a scarier event
We're in coles. If you start taking in water, we have a 2 story that you can come to. We have a pack n play your baby could use.

Near 59 and 762. My parents live in Del Webb. It's the levee on the other side of Williams Way to the north.
We are in Rosenberg behind the fairgrounds.We are far enough from the river that I'm not really concerned.

I've gotten 5" in the last 3 hours in the northern part of Oak Forest.
Where in Oak Forest? Trying to figure out if Candlelight Oaks (Tidwell and Bolivia Blvd) is flooded.
In my opinion if they tell you to evacuate in barker or ad***** you need to pack up now and leave in the morning. You don't want to be stuck there for a week or more with a foot of water in your home.
Same discussion I just had with my folks.

They just got word about a mandatory evacuation. Sounds like it's happening all around the Brazos.
I feel like a complete idiot, but I can't tell what any of those areas are.
All I know is water is ~18" below my back door.

KPRC reports flood warning extended to next Sunday.
Newest numbers are the river will hit 59' that's 4.5 feet above last year. The levees should be built well above that. As for their integrity, well I will say a prayer tonight that they are built well.
What neighborhood?
Del webb
New Territory under a mandatory evacuation now for tomorrow. I guess they aren't confident the levee will hold when the Brazos is expected to crest on Tuesday evening...
Really sorry that all of you are having to go through this. T&Ps.
Just started one. Check the Houston forum pageswimmerbabe11 said:Seersucker Ag 2011 said:
If anyone on the southwest side is evacuating and needs somewhere to stay, shoot me a PM. I'm in Sugar Land near Williams Trace and Lexington.
We should maybe have a separate thread for all of these posts. It's amazing that yall are offering, I don't want them to get lost.
ok.

Ella Lee Forest, off Del Norte.
Can't speak for anywhere else, unfortunately.
12102. Corner house. Thanks!
I caught most of Judge Hebert's press conference. Our MUD wasn't listed for mandatory or voluntary evacs, and we arrived from the river, so I think we are staying put.

Was just about to post this.
Enter your address.
Orange is voluntary evacuation. Red is mandatory (i.e. GTFO)
Not gonna lie guys, I'm a little scared. Wife and I are southeast of both reservoirs. No flooding or water in the home yet, but it is inching closer and closer. If this griffin rain would take a breather that would be nice
May be too late but Galley Furniture is accepting people and pets
anyone else watching Channel 2? They literally just did a bit on a center that is taking in squirrels. People are losing their homes or wanting to know flood/tornado conditions and Channel 2 just spent time on people that are hand feeding f***ing squirrels!

Anyone have the link to the graph of the Brazos River at Richmond level? I cannot find it for the life of me.

Yeah but there are khou folks in the studio, that doesn't really look like a studio. Where exactly is the "studio" with the khou folks broadcasting from?
The Austin ABC channel said Khou moved to the Federal Reserve building.
I have a friend needing boat in Mayde Creek. If anyone knows any boats out that way...
Says they can't get a hold of any of the numbers, bus signals all.
