Is anyone in the Heights hearing the occasional explosion? It's not thunder, if I still didn't have power I would guess that it is a transformer blowing.

---

There was an explosion downtown, not sure if that's what you hear. Let me look for the link.

ABC13 won't let me copy the link do some reason, but it was a building on fannin

Some friends from New Territory evacuated last night. Couldn't get as far as I10 and are now sheltering at Gallery Furniture on 99.

Fcst this morning said only 1/2 - 2" of rain for next 12 hours. What happened to that??

---

It defied the odds again and appears to regaining strength. I suspect we may get 10 inches of rain today in Fulshear if it continues as it has.

El Rey on washington is open

now i want a Havana plate

Have family in Greatwood area of Sugarland trying to get out. Does anyone know if 59 to the west of Sugarland is open? If they could get over to 36 or somewhere there, they could get a route North and get out of it. They have 2 kids and 3 dogs in two cars. Praying they can make it out!!

i just tried to go 15 min ago....i didn't see anyone in there

36 is closed going through sealy

Governor Abbott has activated an additional 9,000 National Guardsmen

Thanks for your reply. I think if they can get a ways down 59, maybe I can find them a route out of there.

I have a question about the National Weather Service flood stage graphs...to what extent do they take into account projected rainfall over the next few days?

I've been watching the graph for Spring Creek for the last 24+ hours. It appears to be a feedback loop, as they adjust predictions for the coming hours as the rain totals are compiled for the previous few hours. The projections have Spring Creek at 108 feet or above until at least Wednesday afternoon; it isn't projected to go below 100 ft until Saturday.

Are those projections taking into effect the forecast rainfalls between now and then (which I know are not likely to even be accurate at this point)?

I just got power back in Braes Heights (near Buffalo Speedway). If anyone in this area needs help, let me know.

from a distance looks like that Fannin fire started in dumpsters

Kroger on west gray will reopen at 1pm

Kroger on 11th and Shepherd has a long line to enter all the way back to the drive thru pharmacy

Mandatory evac for Pecan Grove.

---

I have family there trying to get out all morning but they can't. So how do they mandatory evac when they're trapped in?

Anyone know the status of Eastwood? Don't think I'll be able to get back to my house for a couple days to see

anyone know how Washington Avenue is into downtown? And how downtown is? I wanna go drop off clothes and help out at GRB

ft bend county OEM says 59 south should be ok. They are telling people evacuating from Sienna Plantation to take 59 S to a shelter at Terry HS in Rosenberg. Their facebook page is a good place to go for updates.

Husband going to to come home to Friendswood from IAH. Been stuck there for days. Anyone know what 35 is like between the beltway and 2351 in pearland?

When did this pop up? Haven't seen it? There's not really a way out around this area.

Just made it back to Upper Kirby from Pearland. It took four different trips throughout the last couple days.

Assuming you came up 288. How about a road update for a concerned dad with a daughter in Pearland.

Where did you see the Pecan Grove Plantation info?

What part of Pearland?

For the most part 518 is in pretty good shape from 288 - West through Pearland. 288 itself is probably impassable from 610 on in.

Power out at my parents place in magnolia, indigo lake at nichols sawmill.

Heard on TV. I think I can get a link in a minute.

Only real option is to load up a car and get to those parking lot areas off 99 around mason. Kroger area etc. should still be able to get to that area but I don't know where you go from there with 99 closed north and south.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Also have to take into account Lake Conroe dam, San Jac, rivers all flowing east to us... then rainfall.

So many wildcards.
