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"?
If they're using 'gage' when discussing water depth, they're doing it wrong.

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...

St. Charles Parish President Declares State of Emergency

St. Charles Parish, LA – Parish President Larry Cochran has declared a state of emergency at 10:28 a.m. Aug. 29 in response to the heavy rainfall received and as a precautionary measure in anticipation of further rainfall later this week.

The St. Charles Parish Emergency Operations Center is monitoring closely the track of Harvey and is prepared to take further necessary actions should the forecast put the parish at risk.

St. Charles Parish officials are urging residents to monitor weather reports and during severe weather. Any debris piles, blocked culverts or high water can be reported to EOC at (985) 783-5050.

The Department of Public Works has been inspecting and cleaning ditches, catch basins and drainage infrastructure parishwide with staff on standby to remove debris if needed. HESCO baskets were set out along Bayou Des Allemands in June and the open gaps will be closed on Aug. 25.

The Emergency Operations Center has extra staff on hand throughout this event and is conducting necessary briefings with essential groups.

SEWER NOTICE

The Department of Wastewater has put a sewer notice in place for all residents of St. Charles Parish due to heavy rain until further notice.
Residents are asked to minimize their sewer use until further notice and can expect backups during this time.

SANDBAGGING LOCATIONS

The following sandbagging locations are now open:

East Bank Bridge Park, 13244 River Road Destrehan, LA 70047

West Bank Bridge Park, 13825 River Road Luling, LA 70070

Bayou Gauche, LA 306 at Badeaux Lane East

SCHOOLS

There are no school closures at this time.

Any questions may be directed to the St. Charles Parish Emergency Operations Center at (985) 783-5050 24 hours a day. Parish social media sites will be updated continuously at www.facebook.com/stcharlesgov and www.twitter.com/stcharlesgov. Please call 1-800-ENTERGY for information on power outages.

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.
