Most reliable and accurate person besides Herzog. He's been upfront and honest in his assessments. Awesome job.

Class of '04. Meteorologist with HCFCD the whole time. This is a hard city to manage!
He just said his house is next to the uncontrolled release.
So that's why they kept increasing the flow rate! Kidding!
My ONLY complaint was he seemed to downplay or underestimate some of the affects of increasing the releases. The maps I saw them estimate flooding were underestimated. It made people think their house wouldn't be affected when it was causing lots of rescues yesterday.
With that being said, that guy worked his butt off and needs a vacation.
He's done a great job
I can't believe that it's easy to go on television and tell people that their houses are going to be purposely flooded to save others. I kept telling my wife that he and the ACOE guy were probably the most hated people in Houston the last few days. He's handled it like a champ.

I'm going to echo the sentiment posted here. Everyone I know has learned Jeff's name and trusts the difficult decisions that he and his team are making. This man needs to be formally recognized by A&M.
STAFF - Brandon - do you have any pull to make this happen??
I've replied to a couple of tweets begging him to sleep. Would love to find out his favorite food and make it for his family. Hopefully he gets to kick back with some brews and watch us BTHOucla.

Either way homes were going to get flooded. He and his team were just trying to minimize the damage it was going to cause. If they didn't release Barker, more homes were going to flood. It was a no win call. I am one of the very, very few who did not get water. It literally came within an inch maybe two of coming in my front door. I was watching the elevation levels non-stop when he was giving up dates. I have some video of a military helicopter rescue by Beck and the some video of south Peek after the shooting where two police, Ft. Bend Sherriff and Ft. Bend Constable had rifles out aimed north waiting for the shooter. I've never seen such chaos....
I think the message is they would stay flooded while release of water, not get flooded... the alternative being that the dams yield and there is zero control of the release, that would be devastation
my inlaws are in Bear Creek, street flooded but house dry and stubborn as all old people when we asked them to relocate to daughters house

Saw on FB where someone started a GoFundMe page to buy Jeff a vacation. Of course the jealous ass clowns on FB can't deal with it and it has turned into a ****show of complaining.
There is a dailymail article written now about him and the go fund me effort. It has now raised close to 10k now.
I read that he can not accept any gifts over $100 because he is a county employee
So, can he accept each individual donation that was less than $100? Because each donation is a gift from an individual. GoFundMe is just a way to accumulate those donations.
So you're telling me there are no county employees accepting "gifts" over $100?
Some might, but this is a really visible gift.
Exactly! You have to put it in a brown paper bag and then store somewhere safe like...your freezer

Well that sucks.
Give it to his wife or bff?
I think Jeff Lindner should be recognized on the field at an Aggie football game this fall, too! Not sure who is in charge of that, but hope it happens!

I would bet a large sum of money that this will happen, and is well reserved
He just donated the vacation fund to charity. What a man.
Made the Wall Street Journal, Local Meteorologist Emerges as Unlikely Hero of Harvey
And be in Congress from Louisiana.
Just to be safe wrap it in foil.

I was hoping someone would remember that

Maybe a new F-150 will show up in his driveway
