I will be heading to pick up friends and family at this location between 3-4 this afternoon. No boat but they will be wading from their address to where my location was shown here. I have one truckload of people that I will be grabbing on the first trip but if anyone else in this subdivisions needs out let me know. I will try and help if I can.

Not sure about I-10. I made it to Cinco by heading south on 6 from Westheimer, turned west on W. Bellfort, and North on 99. Didn't go past Fry on 99. But the route I described was clear from the south side of the bayou.

Make sure they have floats if they are wading out. The drainage currents are strange and can be strong.

ah ok. my complex is vue kingsland just down the street on the other side of kingsland. if you find out for sure about how high the water got right around there report back. I'm out of town right now.


I drove east on Kingsland a couple hours ago. Once I hit Baker it was all flooded and boat rescue operations were under way. I could not tell how far north of Kingsland the flooding was bad. My wife got a pic from her boss. She was standing on Barker Cypress rd north of the bend to Kingsland and it was totally submerged.

Fry rd south of Greenwind Chase is completely flooded and not passable. Don't know how far south the flooding goes but it is clear again once fry hits 99.

Can anyone help me with routing? Sister and family are getting on boat now at Mason and Fry, think they're taking her to that middle school on the other side of that intersection.

Need to route from 249 and the Beltway towards her.

Thanks and God bless TexAgs for letting us all coordinate.

BW8 to 290
Take 290 to 610
Take 610 to I-10
Take I-10 West to 99 or Mason then south

BW8 between 290 and 10 appears to have issues, I can't tell for sure so maybe try that first.

Howdy Ags! Need some help. My grandma is at a house on Kingsland Blvd. She's wanting to leave but is unsure if there is a route out. Any roads open from there out to College Station. I'm in Austin and unfamiliar with the area. Thanks for the help.

She can easily get out to I-10! She is safe for now.

The dropped pin is her location. Baker road to the far right is where the flooding starts. Everything south of Kingsland and east of Baker is flooded.

Good to know that the route is still clear. I'll be driving that in reverse in 30 mins.

Thanks Schu! I'm relaying all that to her. Hopefully she can make it out and I won't have to try and go get her.

She's wanting to know if she can get from 1-10w to 36. Take Kingsland to Fry and Fry to 1-10? Sorry for all these questions.

See the flood map below. Her house is the blue circle. Then use the link to the map itself. Currently the flooded areas are the yellow areas but the water level was just now announced to crest at 104 feet. It's currently 101 feet. Use the legend to see where the 104 foot areas are. That's where the forecasted max flood area will be.

Glad to help. See post above. I'm not sure how easy it is to get to Austin though. I-10 west is closed past 99. The Brazos river is yet to crest and she has to cross that to get to Austin. I would say her best bet is to retreat west to a shelter if the water gets close but to wait until necessary. The waters will rise slowly. She can do her own recon by driving east on Kingsland. She appears to have a good cushion right now.

Mason road from Clay to I10 is clear. Theres one gray GMC Yukon right past the gas station on clay facing southbound thats stranded.

Flashing light near Willamsburg settlement but no high water.

Just went to get parents, had no issues going down I10 to Bunker Hill and turning around.

Kroger and Wal Mart at 99 and Morton Ranch are open but the lines are insane.

Wal Mart had diesel but not gasoline.

Wanted to share this from my mom after she spoke with my sister a few minutes ago after she was evacuated in your area. Thank you to any of you on this board who are out there helping:

Melissa said Border Patrol showed up at her front door in a boat & said go now as the the Barker Dam is going to bring 2-3 ft more water into your house. If you don't go now FEMA is going to make you! They waited while they scrambled for last minute stuff to add to already packed bags & they boated to Mason & 99. At staging area they gave them donuts & pizza and drinks then a couple of Marines drove them to friends. They saw LAPD, LA firefighters, Louisiana Navy, etc all helping. They are all together, friends have 2 kids same ages. Their 3 vehicles are probably useless. The volunteers even gave the kids rain jackets and blankets. I am still crying but so grateful.
