Jefferson/Bluebonnet...is it flooded?

It is dry. Just drove by

No real chance of flooding there.

Why though? Honest question. What makes this area so less prone to it? That claycut canal is high.

Ward creek is the biggest threat there.

Claycut Bayou empties right at that intersection. I live here. I'm watching the canal right by the house. It's still moving up but incredibly slow. It's gone up less than a foot since midnight. It would have to go up another three-four feet to breach the canal.

Would you mind updating this thread every so often? I'm in Jefferson Highlands and go check it every couple of hours. You could save me a little gas. Of course it does give me something to do, lol.

I'll check it again at 5:00. I need someone on here is better versed in this stuff to give me an estimate as to when Claycut Bayou is supposed to crest. Slowly moving is still moving. The flood plain here is 32 feet and my slab sits at 34. I'm basically on a hill which makes me feel better but I'm still not that high above the plain.

I'm in a similar boat (no pun intended).........My slab is 34.6

As of a half hour ago the only water outside of the creek was in the extreme front of Jefferson Terrace-the first few streets. And none in homes. The back flow was not really running. It was more just still water, no back flow with current that would be alarming or anything.

There is no water coming into Jefferson Terrace/Bluebonnet Terrace etc from the 1-10 or Bluebonnet sides.
