I thought on the last press conference they said that there would be some uncontrolled water flowing at 108'. Could have heard wrong.

How can they say they don't expect buff bayou to increase then?? That's nuts.

4000 cfs is a drop in the bucket compared to the water already in the bayou

Press conference on now. Sounds like they expect water over spillway on north side of Add!cks. Trying to still increase the release.


How far north is that? All the way up above Clay road near tanner?

Correct. Someone had a good post about it in another thread but I can't find but I found a good pic showing it.

Barker Reservoir Elevation for sensor 2009 is 99.94'

Barker has held even for the past 1.5 hour. First time it has leveled off. If the rain would stop it might be a miracle.

Great news!

Hadn't seen that map. Good to know. Anyone know the specific route the water would go once it goes around the north side? Would western Spring Branch be in danger?

I don't know. I would assume it would go from high to low elevation. They mentioned a few communities that would be affected in the 8 pm update but I don't remember which subdivisions they mentioned.

USGS Gage Structure has begun to flood. Crews will attempt to access the site on the morning of 8/29 to set up a temporary gage outside of the flooded area.

Addicks at 107.9. at 6:33. Probably minutes from having uncontrolled release.

Who will be worse affected by the uncontrolled release? Upstream or downstream or both?
Aggie1205
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Upstream is overall more affected by the lack of release in all cases.

They increased the controlled release or this was uncontrollled?

May have been a misreading as the very next reading jumped back up to 107.99'

There were times yesterday where it was rounding down. Assume it hit one of those bugs.

Have there been any changes to the evacuation lists? Hearing a bunch of sirens at barker/clay but we weren't on the list last night. We're in Deerfield Village
TRM

Haven't heard of any changes. The 2pm list wasn't as complete as the 8pm list. I do see some green in your neighborhood from the elevation in what I assume is a retention pond.

ETA: Looked at Pine Forest Glen on the map not you all.
ETA 2: No green on the map in your neighborhood.

Any map showing areas of potential flooding if the addicks or barker has uncontrolled release over spillway?

linder's tweets were saying there is no real map because this has never happened before.
