You've got two drainage paths right next to your house, one of which flows into the Barker Reservoir. I'd guess that is compounding your neighborhood drainage. Not sure if it has blown its banks yet, since I don't know if it has a proper name or measurement station. Just going off Google Earth.jblaschke said:AggieHusker said:
Nope...no way to get out now on Kings Landing...I'd guess the water is 6-7' deep on the road; maybe more.
That's my take. I wonder if something is actually wrong with something. Some huge drain that's clogged. All indications seem to be that we should be fine, but we are nowhere close to fine.

Streets are still impassable in my section of Grand Lakes. Apparently Buffalo Bayou is swollen to the point where they can't drain. Quite the dilemma. We have to leave because of Barkers but can't because of the bayou
If we're going to get 5 feet of water in our homes why is it just voluntary evacuation
Echo this request... have a relative in the same area. They say the roads are impassable so trying to figure out how to get them out.Wozlaw said:
Also, I would echo the request for help on how she even gets out if she were to evacuate. She has a 5 year old and a 3 year old. Unfortunately, I'm in Dallas and my family all decided to ride it out despite repeated requests for them to leave on Thursday.
Brothers house north of old Katy railroad tracks had water 1.5 " from door step last night. Now 3" and hopefully dropping.
I'm in young ranch, a new neighborhood far west in Katy (close to willow creek farms). Water is about 2 feet away from the front of the house and has not receded all night. Is this because willow fork bayou is too full and not draining?
Are roads good enough to get out of Grand Lakes to old Katy right now?
For West Cinco folks or your neighbors... If you need to leave now or soon, the club house at Heritage Grand is being used a temporary staging area to get transported to CRHS.

you are not in a colored area. for reference, the colored area nearest you is the area east of 99 and north of tollroad, and thats voluntary area

It was very quick. We were looking fine, and then wham. Water to our front door.
I wasn't aware of any evacuation, either mandatory or voluntary.
We are pretty much stuck here. We got almost everything upstairs, which is good.

Does anyone know if 99 is open from I-10 to Tomball/champions forest? I am in east cinco right on the edge of the 104 ft flood level per the map.
I live by Kroger and Exley elementary at mason for reference. Don't want to be flooded in for an extended time with a 1 year old.

Do you want/need out? There are boats and fire trucks in the area. I'm about to head out and can try to point someone your way.

Heavily flooded streets in Cross Creek Ranch. Water half way up the drive and seems to be holding. Moved everything upstairs last night, just in case.
We are across from Randolph Elementary.
I live in Cinco Meadow Green, Peek at Highland Knolls. I walked the neighborhood last night and saw that Peek was underwater but passable in bigger vehicles. The water got higher than I've ever seen it around my house, but was still a good 4 feet from the northern side of my house. It drained away pretty quickly, what with the lull we saw late last night in the rain. We measured more than 14" yesterday starting sometime around 1 to late in the day.
Any word on Simonton and Weston Lakes areas?
Checking on y'all here, my sister and her family are at Mason and Fry. Is the Barker reservoir release helping, or is the rain continuing to make the water levels rise?

They said on the news that the reservoirs are still rising 4" an hour *in spite of* being drained. Water is coming in faster than it's going out.
That's what I was afraid of.

Thanks so much for the offer. I may regret this, but I think we are going to stay for a bit. It's strange that the water got up to our step, but hasn't gone above it. It doesn't go down, but even with heavy rains this morning, it's not gone up.
We are on 1463 near cinco ranch
Water is only to the sidewalk...yesterday it was half way up the driveway
We are dry and can offer shelter
Let me know

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I-10 is closed from 1463 to the Brazos river and 99 South is closed at 90. So..."no" & "no".
What about 99N from I-10 to 290?
