Just lost power in Benders Landing Estates. Was gonna take a ride soon. Maybe when wife and baby wake up from a nap.
No power in Harmony now.
Somewhat less Harmonious now...(poor attempt at a joke)

A shelter has opened up at Creekside Park Junior High in the Village of Creekside. This is an unplanned/impromptu shelter to house the people in our neighborhood who have been evacuated due to high water. Because they were unprepared, they need and are taking any and all donations (food, water, bedding, towels, pet food, etc). If you're in the area and can access the school, please consider donating.
Spring creek appears to be receding for the moment near Kuykendahl
My parents lost power in spring trails. Water is in the yard. Praying that spring creek has crested.
Water release from Lake Conroe will not help Rayford and Rilet-Fuzzell area.
I saw a video of water crossing 99 above Spring Creek. I'm guessing 99 will be closed for a while at 99/Rayford.
This correlates to the second graph. 45 at san Jac.
How far upstream will spring creek back up due to the release from Conroe?
Also, I drove around Creekside and the water appears about a foot lower than this morning.
The shelter at Creekside junior high appeared first class. Tons of volunteers and a solid line of cars dropping off donations.

Last reading at 4:45 was 111.14 feet against a predicted max of 111.2 ft. Hopefully the next reading will be less that the current one.

I don't think it will. It has crested and will start going down unless the situation changes (storm changes or something).
I hope you're right. I've been worried about my parents all day.
The neighborhood has really come together. The firemen/constables organized that shelter. One of them told me around 7:30 this morning that they had the keys to the school and would open it if necessary.LostInLA07 said:

That's awesome. The feeling when I walked in to drop off a few things we could spare was pretty cool. Guys carrying in baby cribs and a line of middle and high school aged kids handing off donations from the carpool line into the building was a neat thing to see. I hope everyone needing to use the shelter is ok.
We're already seeing significant reduction, about 2 feet down

I appreciate that. I have been in contact with them, I just need the creek to crest. They are in spring trails. Their street has water and its in the yard. The house is still dry though. I'll let you know if they need help though. I really appreciate that.
How far did it end up getting? I went out at 730 this morning, and the water was at the intersection of Timarron and Kuykendahl. I couldn't even pull all the way into the left turn lane. That was at 108 feet, and I didn't go back.Honky Tonk Hero said:

Its 111.27ft near spring now.
111' on the measured peak. I'm on the flint ridge side and by forest gate park it was significantly over flint ridge. Some houses in my neighborhood were within 2' of flooding. Very thankful that it's going down.
Any updates on The Meadows at Imperial Oaks or the small neighborhood right across from them on Aldine Westfield? Have not been able to reach a friend who lives in that neighborhood across from The Meadows. Not sure what the name of the subdivision is.
Is there any chance the San Jacinto River will get high enough to close the I45 main lanes? I need to make a run to Dallas tomorrow for work but won't go if I can't get back to the Woodlands in the evening.
Red Cross Shelter at St Simon and Jude in the front of The Woodlands. We set it up for 100, not sure what the capacity is at currently.
I'm planning a dallas run tomorrow as well and I honestly don;t know.
I think the chart says 127, and i heard the highway is at 126. But I don't know if that means it covers the highway or hits the overpass.

Thanks dlance. I'm not sure what that neighborhood is. Co-worker lives back there. Think its the second neighborhood back on the left. (Across from The Meadows sign on Aldine Westfield)
Hopefully I will hear back.
I did see the pictures of The Meadows in one of the links you provided.
Appreciate all your info.

I am in The Woodlands, across from McCullough Jr High. I am not in Timber lakes Timber Ridge, but close.
I have a drainage ditch behind my house that was flowing really well until this morning and it has become a lake about 100 yards from my house. I believe the ditch drains over to Lake Houston in Humble/Kingwood and down into Galveston Bay eventually. When Spring Creek overflowed at Gosling and the Creekside subdivision as you drive down Gosling, it has spilled over toward me.The level has not crested over the ditch and there is a small berm it would still have to get over.
The neighbor 5 houses down has some water that has extended into their back yard from this 'ditch lake'. They are lower than me, but if the rain continues, like this morning it became a lake where yesterday it was running and flowing and lower enough to flow thru some drains under a paved road.
I am scared to wake up tomorrow and see the 'ditch lake' has become twice the size and extended into the backyard of my house.
This is on the east side of Gosling, South of Flintridge and North northwest of the TLTR subdivision.
Where you see Bitterwood CIr, that is me. https://www.harriscountyfws.org/
The struggle is I do not know how to interpret of all these websites that show water levels.etc.
Constant state of anxiety, stress, hopelessness.

So no houses along Flintridge took in water? If not, that's wonderful! I'm trying to collect as much info as I can so that we will have point of references in the future.Honky Tonk Hero said:

We went over to sign up to volunteer. The donations and list of volunteer names was amazing! They've actually said they have way more than enough for the number of people they have to serve right now. The shelter is housing people brought up from Cypress (maybe Ponderosa? Saw that flooding on the news today and it was awful) as well as people from the neighborhood.LostInLA07 said:
