I had almost a foot of water in my place and just walked out in about waist deep water. I live in a pretty high part of Orange. Waiting for a lull in the rain (its still coming down really hard), then shooting for LC or somewhere east to get a room..

eDIT: Apparently someone on facebook said the dam breached and everyone's freaking out. There's literally no confirmation though.

Could be true but I can't find local sources.
I liked the separated fact and discussion threads.

quote:
Despite controlled releases by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the water level of Addicks Reservoir in northwest Houston rose past the dam’s gates for the first time in its history, rising more than 10 inches past the spillway. The neighboring Barker Reservoir also was at risk of overflow.
quote:
On Monday, the corps began releasing water from the Barker and Addicks facilities and into the Buffalo Bayou. But by Tuesday, the Addicks Reservoir had filled, and water was pouring at an uncontrolled rate over an emergency spillway. Water was also flowing around the back of the wedge-shaped reservoir into the neighborhood.

ETA : best I could find via google.

Possibly, I was just reading a twitter thread where they said they heard about a breach on the west end, then the other person said there's no dam to be breached on the west end.
IDK the area much to really interpret it like y'all.
Edit: this map helps

Don't believe they are expecting it to necessarily move east but rather north, once the center begins moving that direction.. I certainly don't understand the dynamics as east seems logical
