It's crazy man. Praying we don't get hours of heavy rain here.

I don't remember it being like that last year during memorial day.

I say that because the river flooding in Sienna was close to this bad last year, so figured Sugar Land would've been about the same.

quote:Gotcha. This is so much worse though for a lot of people. Pecan Grove and the 359 area is what amazes me. I wonder if something major has changed to make the drainage so much worse this year or if it is just simply the amount of water is blocking it up.

Good question.

And not a single clear day in the forecast until next Tuesday. And that's in Richmond and not even taking into consideration rainfall up north that will flow down...

Saw a video on the news last night where a reporter and cameraman rescued a dog that was tied up on a porch with just his head sticking out of the water. I wish the trashy fricks who left him there would have drowned.

I would think the county has to begin preparing for raising the levees a few more feet to protect the more densely populated areas going forward.

some developers found ways to bypass flood control regulations.
Area has been overbuilt
ground saturated from previous rains
a lot of rain in a short time
for multiple days
and its not moving these fronts have stalled over NW Harris/ Montgomery and Ft Bend
its bizarre

I've only lived in Hou for a few years now so I don't know a lot about certain areas. Is there a reservoir upstream of the Richmond area that helps control flooding? Has housing developments in the area negatively affected drainage? In my area the San Jac and Lake Hou is flooding. West Lake Hou Pkwy was shut down as it had 3' of water on it last week and flooding along there and the San Jac at I-59.

Why are the other areas that flooded in March not flooding now?

How is KW currently? I just moved to the Woodlands from Kingwood and I was over there on Saturday...saw the San Jac pretty much cut off Humble access for the feeders. Any flooding in the back (Greentree, Sand Creek, Kings Point areas)?

Yeah it seems as though it's just a matter of too much rain and no where to go. It's raining it's arse of here now. We had about 2' of water over our street last week but luckily it drain of relatively quick.

Greentree, Sand Creek, Kings Point
