That lime green TABS one has been drunk for 2 days now

It almost looks like the guy who runs that let his 3 year old daughter draw her projected path with a crayon.

Listening to these rescues by first responders and especially by civilians in their boats makes one feel glad to be living in a kick-arse nation with kick-arse people like the United States of America.

Officials are doing everything in their power to make sure downtown Houston does not get massive flooding, even if it means other areas take the brunt.

Damn...I had to turn The Zello app off. People worried about horses and dogs over human lives. They need to make a separate channel for animal rescues

Those guys are getting their shite together now. They're going to do some serious work tomorrow. Unfortunately there are a lot needing help right now.

People are overthinking the Dam release. Yes it will add to the bayou, but COE are thinking ahead and basically determining it is better to slowly let that water out now versus letting the reservoirs just fill up without it and potentially breach which would decimate a huge section of Houston.

Let it out controlled over a longer period of time than in a ahuge burst and try to give the folks behind the reservoirs a little more time to get out.

I think the news did a poor job explaining it is one reason people are asking questions.

And are the releases going to flood my house in katy? Between Wesrgreen and fry. I don't know anything about this stuff


No. If you were going to flood, you still are. The release is not going to flood anything that is not already flooded.

Rain off in Heights.

Have a friend in Greatwood just south of the Brazos River. I can't find reliable info on the situation there. Is the Brazos expected to top the banks/levees there?

Bay City would not be impacted by the reservoir releases. They're getting stories mixed up.

The neighborhoods on the west end reservoir releases in Cinco Ranch area will get feet of water in their houses for months.
