That's not a range. It will rise an additional 11', which will bring the total height to 72'.

It is going to rise 11' to a final height of 72'
Meaning it's at 61' now and will rise another 11' to (get to) 72'GarlandAg2012 said:

Rise an additional 72 feet?!?!?

I guess it started raining before I was able to paste, but it's still flooded
You know it's an epic storm when Centerpoint's Outage Center website is down for the count. Been down for about 12 hours.

Comcast is down for us too, but otherwise fine with good street drainage. Briar Forest and Hayes (south of bayou, north of Westheimer, between Wilcrest and Kirkwood.)

Kroger on 11th and shepherd opened this morning and has a full store but they are only letting in small groups at a time.
Queen Donut on 18th is open but with a very long line.
Neighbor was at the Kroger- very long line. Rumor that Shipleys on N Main is open

How old are you? Creek? Hamilton? I grew up off grant on gardenglen. House never flooded but I have a lot of memories of cypress creek flooding
Former Hamilton/Creek checking in. Parents still out there. It's getting dicey all around that area. Parents live in a traditionally high ground which we will see if it stays that way.
Cypress Creek receded maybe 6" last night by my parents measurements. Hopefully it won't rebound too much today.
Friend were deployed to Houston yesterday. Taking over Operations at national level now.devastor said:
Got a friend who is part of FEMA's National IMAT (Incident Management Assessment Team) in Washington. They have been put on stand-by for development to SE Texas to assist the regional IMATs.
They get deployed when things look bad.
Does he mean rise another 11' which will put the total at 72'GarlandAg2012 said:

We are at 25" of rain on the Upper East side, but everything is doing well as long as you were smart enough not to build on the banks of the San Jac River.
If there is a lull while the storm strengthens, how quickly can things safely drain before the rain comes in again?
My parents are considering leaving Sugar Land (Greatwood) and driving to College Station. Does anyone know if the roads are passable? Is this a bad idea?
My buddy lives at grant/spring cypress (he's right in the S corner), water came up past the tree in his yard, but has since receded to the street.WelchAg said:I grew up in that area in between Grant and Eldridge on Louetta. How are things there?jenn96 said:
Raining again in Cypress at Louetta & Grant. Dammit.
Got it. Water will rise an additional 11 centimeters to a final depth of 72 miles.
Kidding obviously. Thanks for the clarification.

Should just tell them to follow whatever orders HEB gives them and assist HEB as support
In laws are bailing out of twin lakes on Eldridge on the back side of addicks
Local options for sienna plantation evac? Still 211/911 in that area or is there a local and/or coast guard number?
Does anyone know what the current death toll is thus far?
Was posted in the Outdoors board thread but just a reminder - if you have to wade through flood water or contact it in any way really, be careful about ticks and other insect bites and don't wipe your eyes or face with anything that has contacted flood water. Fellow poster cbr said on the Outdoors thread that he personally knows people who have had vision damage due to infections related to flooding.
Use this map. It' going to be tricky. Hope they have a super duty.Batboy said:

Looks like the storm is moving back out to the gulf. I hope that if it does, it goes anywhere else but back here.
Aunt and Uncles house is just off Cedar Bayou in Baytown. Water is approaching the roof line. It is a total loss. Parents house is not too far off Cedar Bayou and water is starting to move in. Dad thinks water could be in house soon.

Things are actually looking pretty good here at 2920/Mueschke. The lull has allowed pretty much everything to drain. I think there are even some restaurants open.
Parents are hunkered down in Lakes on Eldridge. Their house is at 107'. Any word on how high the reservoir may back up?

My parents are doing the same. They back up to the reservoir and have moved stuff upstairs. Actually had about a half dozen deer earlier by the back fence

Not sure, right now it's mostly my MIL just not wanting to risk it later. We're only 20 mins away and dry so they're heading here
