Yeah it's been good here south of town. Drainage ponds are almost back at normal level. For now.

Hopefully not get too bad overnight. I think those high res models are inflating the totals. At least, that's what the klfy meteorologist said.

Anybody know if there is a way to get into the himble/atascocita area from Dallas? My brother and his wife are stuck up there. Their house is fine and would like to come home.

Looks like as Harvey drifts to the east rain bands will start to move more southeast to northwest. Makes that line of storms over Lake Charles a potential threat for Lafayette as things progress, for instance.

Just have to watch and see where things set up.

The problems will be over by Friday, and it won't affect entry to and from the city or downtown. Some of the usual suspect neighborhoods will get screwed by faulty pumps which either don't work or cannot keep up though.

Conroe Damn feeds the West Branch of the San Jacinto River. Yhis feeds into Lake Houston. Spring Creek drains an area west of there. It basically feeds into the San Jacinto further south but should only be effected if it backs up.

Y'all may hate me for this, but this thing needs to just head East.

At this point, we will handle the water better than anyone.

Houston needs relief.
