Grandfather went down from Alvin down 517 to shoreview. Went thru around 2:35 with couple inches water across at nursery. Back thru around 3 and said it was 8-9".
Not too familiar with area otherwise

So is that Lake Conroe dam opening going to be hell for Lake Houston? A friends parents are there currently, said water is rising rapidly.
Buddy of mine in Atascocita just texted me "Lake houston is above its banks". I believe he lives in Walden.
Ponderosa Forest. Man that's just sickening.

I hope this BS of the west side of 288 doesn't screw over the east side of 288. It didn't last time the Brazos flooded but who knows.
I have friends in both neighborhoods and they are dry as of right now.

Anyone know where in Cypress people can go to get dry? My family's neighborhood near Huffmeister and Cypress North Houston is full of water and stI'll rising.
They have moved stuff to the 2nd story but waters keep rising.
My folks live in that area and left a few hours ago to the holiday inn near 290. They had a few rooms left there but I would call first.
Towne Lake House is taking people in. People in the subdivision are hosting families.

How are the Friendswood folks doing?
We're close to the Methodist church and it seems like there's no way in or out of the city except through Alvin.
Neighbors in Autumn Creek said our water was going down.
Good to hear. Looks like things should keep steady unless something crazy happens. I have family in west ranch that has water on their drive way. The water has kept steady but they can't leave the neighborhood if they had to evacuate.
My relatives made it out from Greatwood area. Two solid Ags and 2 future Ags in that car, so I am happy. They were able to get 59 south to 71 north to I-10 west to Luling. So far, only thing close to road, was on 71 just before I-10. I wouldn't advise 71 north of I-10. Anything west of 183 should be fine. If 71 at i-10 gets bad, you can always use alt90 from Altair to Halletsville, and then North to i-10 on 77.
Prayers for all.....
If you are trying to get out, and need a route, I used the following to route them, taking a combination of the three:
https://drivetexas.org/#/11/29.6266/-97.6015?future=false&resources=traffic
https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7541137,-96.1113229,10z/data=!5m1!1e1

Waze is also a very useful app, if the cell network is up. If there is a wazer in front of you, and no delay shown, you know that route was passable when they went through. I use it on my phone anytime I travel.

Watching NBC... ponderosa forest subdivision in Cypress..... wow
You're welcome. I'm in neighboring League City and have been extremely blessed with having no issues so far. My heart and prayers are with all who are in much worse shape.Duckhook said:
Thanks for that info. Terrible to sit here 300 miles away and try to help them make decisions. I'm a pretty calm guy, but this is really frazzling me.
Anyone had success getting out of Katy? In-laws are stuck near the barker reservoir affected area and looking to leave. Looks like 290 is open west of barker cypress-fry road mess, but getting there is the issue.
We are just SE of that intersection near the big water tower. I looked at a Houston topographic map online and we are somewhere around 129' elevation. Looks like the Addicks reservoir is supposed to top out around 105, so I think we are likely to be pretty safe here. If you are nearby, you probably won't have a need to evacuate unless you are much closer to the reservoir.Dwide Schrude said:
Anyone near Barker Cypress and W. Little York? If evacuation would be needed where could one go?
Anyone in Atascocita have an update? Is the Conroe Lake release supposed to affect the area?
can you share a link to that map?txags92 said:We are just SE of that intersection near the big water tower. I looked at a Houston topographic map online and we are somewhere around 129' elevation.

Get to Tuckerton and Barker...The Towne Lake Subdivion is hosting people at the Lake House
Atascocita Point is taking on water. Hasn't been this high since 94. At that time the houses on the lake flooded but the interior ones did not.
Kingwood is about to get hit hard.aTm2004 said:Skillet Shot said:

Lake Conroe Dam is releasing double the water they were yesterday. It flows down the San Jac river through Kingwood to Lake Houston.
Lake Houston is way over capacity and can't let water out as fast as Conroe dumps it on us.
This is King's Harbor (search for Sharky's on Google Maps) a few hours ago.
A friend that lives near there had Coast Guard come to her door and tell her there was about 2 hours before her first floor would be flooded. They expect 10' of water there.
King's Point should be somewhat safe. King's Crossing may have some serious problems. I'd imagine that KWCC is going to be pretty much completely sumberged.
If anyone evacuating in Fort Bend needs a spot to hole up my house is open. I'm housing some of my wife's family but we can make anything work. I'm in Quail Valley Thunderbird subdivision. Either reply to this post or PM.

Click on "open in map viewer" on the right side. If you zoom in close enough to wherever you are looking, you will find labeled contours and single data point elevations that should give you at least a rough idea where you stand. Be careful that you compare apples to apples though, some of the creek and river gauges are not showing actual elevations, but a number relative to a gauge height.
I just spoke with an old neighbor who moved to Country Place and he said they've got about 8" to go before the water is in their house. I'd imagine it may be a similar situation to some of the homes closer to the drainage ditch.Big Cat `93 said:

No house flooding that I know of, drwong. Just streets.

It's full. They called. Anyone running boats in the area?

The thing is, they're okay right now. During the worst of it Sunday morning she said water got up to about 10 feet from their house, but it receded and hasn't even come close to them since. They're actually east of the main part of Dickinson that is flooding on either side of Hwy 3. Even if they decide to leave, I guess they'll just have to walk to some pickup point. Doesn't look like they can drive out now. Terrible decision tree I'm working through right now with them. At least they don't have kids to worry about. I appreciate you guys helping me with info.

Sources with knowledge of the situation said they expect the plant to go offline Friday, and said they were surprised it had not shut down earlier. If that occurs, residents in north Houston may receive orders to boil their water before using it.
KWCC is already under. Not the clubhouse but most everything below that based on pics I've seen.
Any idea of 290 from 610 out to Huffmeister? I am thinking about taking my truck to get my parents and sister.

Back of Kings point along scenic shore. Interior kings point should be okay for now.

We just evacuated Kingsland / Baker area...
I10 west was a no go a few hours ago. Couldnt get past Katy Mills... evidentally because I10 at Peterson was closed.
Frontage roads north of 10 across from Katy Mills were flooded with stranded cars.

We drove that way around noon and the water in the street was over the curbs and into the yards. I won't drive in water unless I have to so I turned around...didn't see what the lake behind them looked like.

No, my folks are in fleetwood and I'd love to get them, but have no way to get there.
