@NorthTexasWink I've been meaning to tell you to tell your "company" that we are always at the Alvin skate park! We love it over there!

It is? I've never been, but I'll mention it to them.

They have been/are releasing water from upstream. They are planning more releases, hoping to start slow and ramp up as needed to avoid compromising the dams and levees. Levels in Buffalo Bayou were receding but now on the way back up. Bunches of folks look to be getting on the roads but I'm afraid they'll get caught once the overflow release really starts up in larger volumes.

2 levies on the north side of Houston are "broken" the gauges and pumps have quit.
Cypress Creek and one other one just north of that one.

Keep an eye on the levels near you:

Steady rain. Watching the ditch fill.

Blasted color radar has nothing but more red & yellow coming our way.

We are not amused.

God All Mighty, everyone take care, preparing here, but still have you all in my thoughts and Prayers. And checking when I can. It's strange as I prepare here, I can't stop worrying about all of you. Feel helpless for you. I guess it's selfish, but I just wish there was something I could do.

Do you have any way to float out of there if it comes to that?

I'm not even close to any of this bad weather but i feel so bad for all of you affected, I'm glued to the threads and the weather channel. Please know that the entire country is praying for everyone affected.

We have a 2 story. Leaving in the dark is not a good decision.

We are safe. Not near a river, little concern of flash flood. Have power.

Better to sit here.

I made it through the night, again!


My city is screwed! Rivers are forecast to crest tomorrow, which is going to flood hundreds of thousands of more people out of their homes!!
