From wunderground, huge blast of dry air shearing the storm as of 20 min ago. Maybe this is the kill shot.
This pic is kinda turning me on right now.
I must still be stuck in Game of Thrones mode because it looks like a dragon to me...
All I see is dry air, and that's what is turning me on. Come on, guys!
Looks like Harvey is getting a good ol finger blast. Where is Ferris wheel all-star at? He's doing work!

I would assume failed.
THanks, will pass on the number. Hopefully they're not too stubborn too leave.TommyGun said:bigtruckguy3500 said:Pine Meadows - right by that Taco Bell/KFC on 146 near I-10. Thank you very much.TommyGun said:bigtruckguy3500 said:
Anyone out in baytown , or know what to expect out there? My parents ( at 146 & I-10) have about a foot of water outside their door, a couple inches in their house already. I'm out of state, not tapped into all the local resources, curious what I need to advise them to do.
Which neighborhood are they in? I've got friends who are running boats along Cedar Bayou picking up folks in Pinehurst, Whispering Pines, and other parts. My two brothers are also running airboats out in Cove and Mont Belvieu. I can try to get you a contact number.
Call 713-907-6083 - They're mobilizing boats along 146 to get people out of Pine Meadows and Country Meadows
Fire, got word there are some folk in twin lakes looking for a rescue... I know y'all are busy, just wanted to pass along

Dude, get over it.
Officers are human too. They get tired. They get frustrated. They are not immune to poor moments and expecting them to be perfect no matter what is an unrealistic standard. It's an unrealistic standard for anyone.
You also don't know what they may have lost. For all you know, they may have lost everything they own, but they are out there having to deal with people who shouldn't be on the roads, like you.
My son is HPD working almost nonstop and eating MRE's. He can't get to his own apartment and is sleeping at his substation. So you are not unique in your job and there are unpaid volunteers doing the same.
Just pray for the victims!
I don't have context, but I would infer "breached" means it is overflowing and at immediate risk of failure. If it had ruptured or failed I think they would be using those terms.
2 Forest Green Trail, Kingwood Tx. 2 adults stranded on second floor
I have heard the term breach used for overtopping before, but I would expect they would have been sending updates over the last few hours that was coming. Were they?
Even if it just overtopping, I would think it increases the chance of total failure.

Jetch do you have a number? How many people
Checking, sorry I'm just relaying info this morning...
If you guys need anything please let me know I can likely run anything to that area as I'm about 20 mins away

I have a guy wading out to boats from Kings River. I have passed that address on in case he can relay to someone.
Overtopping leads to erosion of the base or weakening under the concrete core and that's what leads to failure. That's my very basic understanding of the situation.CJS4715 said:

In this instance it was used to mean water is over the top. It was expected. Columbia Lakes has been under mandatory evacuation for days now, as have all the small towns along the Brazos west of 288.
Damn.. this area is unbelievable.

Got it. Hope people heeded the warning, and I hope the levee makes it out with minimal damage.
Mayde Creek area completely flooded. My old apts are flooded almost to the 2nd floor.
7nine
Now some of the news people out in the field are getting panicky. I don't think that is helping.
Someone who looked like they have an Aggie ring on, and his family (including preggers wife) are being rescued on ABC13 right now.
Mizzou City, I think.

We were scheduled to fly out of HOU on Thursday night to Costa Rica and then onto to Peru, but that is looking less and less likely to happen. It sucks, but it pales in comparison to what other people are dealing with when we only lost a vacation, not a home.
I would rebook and fly out of a different airport.

Damn! Is that itl, 024 or 079?

The levee at steep bank creek between the eastern part of Riverstone and the western part of sienna has been topped and apparently water is going into Riverstone which is what they showed on TV. Quiet Dawn lane and Marbrook Saddle court for specifics.
the real concern with a levee being topped is the water pouring over eroding the backside and making the levee weaker.
My dad is an hour out of Atascocita, headed that way with a boat. We have friends trapped in Atascocita Point that didn't flood in 94. If anybody needs rescue in that area... post here. He said he will help as many as he can. This is for Atascocita Shores, The Point, Kings River, The Barrington, etc...
We're in Millwood on the Riverstone side of that levee. From what we can tell, it looks like our house has flooded.
Still bad, but my understanding is water is just going over top of levee, it hasn't cracked open or anything.

Brazos crest has been updated to 57.5 feet Thursday evening. Down from 59 feet.
News people, please stop stick microphones in peoples' faces.

That's gut wrenching.
Addicks Res over the top of the spillway now.
Can someone repost the Reddit FEMA tips link? Can staff add it to the OP or pin it?
