If the levee at Columbia Lakes is breaching now, they are in trouble.
The river is going to rise, according to this, another ten feet!!!

This article is a good example of why even a mandatory evacuation can't help the stubborn.
Columbia Lakes Flooding is Imminent
People just don't listen. The levees are at 32.5 feet and the river is supposed to crest at 40 feet.

Thanks for the link...
Looks like my friends are at 136ft... two streets south is 135, four streets north is 122, and 2 streets west is 122. So maybe there is hope they are ok

They should be. Those elevations are way past the projections for either reservoir.
ETA - I wouldn't take those elevations from the link as gospel, but it's a pretty good approximation.

Columbia Lakes is pretty far south in Brazoria County. Hopefully everyone is out. I wonder if an uncontrolled release there will relieve pressure and heights upstream.

I'm fairly certain this over topping was worked into the forecasts.

My people are not by the reservoir.... That is in Spring/Woodlands.
But the link helped show that they are at the high point around

I love the "my place won't flood" radicals.

How many out of state rescue workers have shown up at this point?

Yeah looking at immediate reports... this is more an overtopping. The river was expected to crest that at a level that is well above the levee.

Of course Nola could have handled things differently, as could have Houston, but in the heat of the battle with things going to hell, mistakes and bad presumptions will be made.
Otherwise it wasn't as badly handled as most would say.

Yep, I think a lot of people in the BR area finally calmed down with that crap after last August.
