Yes, they anticipate the controlled release to add roughly 4 feet to the existing water levels in Buffalo Bayou.

They are saying the release is to help upstream Buffalo Bayou but will be affected because the release is downstream into the bayou. Which would slow down the drain

Water in the south part of the Heights was receding fairly well until this band came through. It'll be interesting to see where we are tomorrow morning


Same here. Just ventured out... water is no longer draining on the street. All stagnant. Hope the rain holds off.

Weather gurus here....how much confidence do you have in the projected path and forward speed of the storm that the NHC put out at 10:00?

So is there going to be higher than usual flooding along Buffalo Bayou heading to downtown with this controlled release?




Usual as in, what, exactly?

The Buffalo Bayou is already above record levels in many places. All else being equal, an additional 4k cfs is going to increase the level another 2-4 feet.

No, the station that evacuated was KHOU. WFAA here in Dallas is simulcasting for them. We've been watching KPRC through the Roku.
