My parents are evacuating from liberty, going up 146 to Livingston. They are making it without too much trouble in a Prius, so the roads are in decent shape. From there they are coming on 190 to Huntsville then to BCS.

Just an FYI this is a viable route.

This is cheer. I'm from Dayton.

Hoping it will remain viable. Highway 90 between Dayton and Liberty (which 146 follows for a while) goes right over the Trinity. The TRA will increase discharge from the Livingston Dam soon, if it hasn't already, and the levee on the north of Liberty is weakened in a couple spots.

Basically, I'm expecting that route to not be viable for much longer.

I posted this yesterday on the Outdoors Board, guess I should have posted it here.

"I know population-wise is pales in comparison to the Brazos and Colorado issues, but thought everyone downstream from Lake Livingston should know that Trinity River Authority is discharging 110,600 cfs and has been since about 1PM, which ties the record set during October 1994. The lake is still over two feet higher than normal.

Polk and San Jacinto Counties have received an incredible amount of rainfall and this will unfortunately be making it's way through already waterlogged areas of south Polk, Hardin, Liberty and Chambers counties.

Everyone be careful and stay safe."

Since I posted this yesterday TRA has not changed the discharge, so this wall of water is coming and will be for a while. For some perspective, at noon Saturday they were releasing 8,000 cfs.

The Trinity is supposed to crest at 10:00 am in the morning. The drivetexas.org site is updated frequently with road conditions, those with water, those closed, etc.

The parents made it here safe. Not sure if road conditions have changed. 146 to 190 to 45 to 21
