Just made it to work and ditches are swollen some minor street flooding but if it keeps up all day we are in for some problems. Locks are closed and this is making it rise quick as the water had no where to go

Any updates will be appreciated, thx.

Anyone hear anything about the condition of the reservoirs and dams near Houston? Are they holding?

Supposedly there is a presser later this morning.

---

No updates on the integrity of the reservoirs - all seems sound so far. Flooding continues as Addicks is now overtopping and/or going around the spillway as the elevation has reached 108.01'.

Still lots of rain falling north of those reservoirs ....

Does anyone know if 249 is passable at cypress creek (around louetta)? If not, is there any good way to cross cypress creek?

Read that the Addicks will overtop and that a press conference on it was supposed to happen at 8 am local time.

Check the Petit C. locks on their site 10 minutes ago it was open(green), 5 minutes later it was (yellow) thinking about it I guess.
