Damn, so S. Peek Rd -going East- to the Reservoir, basically flooded now, 8 ft in the house?
The water in Addicks is 12 feet over Hwy 6. This stuff is going to be around for another month.

I like the TD formatting better plus it's more local, but Reddit has more cool stuff on it. So I visit both.
No need to visit both - TD is Broadmoor Theater version of Reddit. Anything good released on Reddit finds its way onto TD six months later.

Office of Commissioner Andy Meyers - Emily Hodges, Fort Bend County AGENCY
All, We learned at 10:45 AM that the Army Corp of Engineers estimates the Barker Reservoir will crest at 104.4 feet. This will put several feet of water into homes between FM 1093 & WESTHEIMER PARKWAY - EAST OF SH99. Fort Bend County is sending boats into this area as we speak that will assist you with evacuating. If this applies to you, call 281-238-3460 & place a white flag/cloth outside of your home so boats can quickly find you. Please help us by sharing this with your neighbors

I also hear that the Brazos is now expected to crest at 57.5' instead of 59' which is great news
Oh sweet baby Jesus please be true
They don't revise it down unless they're pretty confident.

Side note, anyone have an idea why it is called a "gage" instead of a "gauge"?
Gage means a commitment or contract basically. Gauge is a measurement tool.

Hoping this thing picks up a little more speed than projected between Wednesday/Thursday. Been getting a lot of rain here on Northshore since yesterday. I'm sure people around us getting much worse and obviously, Houston. We can take it here just not too much all at once. So far seems to be draining okay but IMO, looking at projected path looks like we'll get the worst of it sometime tomorrow or Thursday. GL all hopefully this damn thing is done soon...

Can't find out how to loop the images into a gif, but the water vapor loop shows a ton of dry air infiltrating the system from TX to central LA

93L on the way? Too early to tell, but Lawd...
93L is a low end Gulf threat but climo starts to shift here soon making it harder for systems to long track into the Gulf. Unfortunately, there might be another Gulf system to deal with before 93L gets close.
