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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

So many wildcards.
