It's the Brazos's Turn

[TexasTK]

I live in Simonton over mile from river. The crest should have been Sunday and water is still slowly rising. It is inches from my foundation. Not to dampen folks outlook but I would not expect to see water start falling until 3 days after so called crest. The amount of water spreading out from river is hard to comprehend. Good luck to everyone downstream, this is a bad one.

They are predicting it to be over major flood stage (51') for 10-14 days at Rosharon. Things gonna get interesting in the county in the next couple weeks.

We are stuck in the neighborhood due to 723 being flooded. I'm thankful we have a levee but feel for the folks who are losing their homes.
This was yesterday evening in front of kingdom heights.

The blue sections on the map are within the FEMA 100yr flood plane. The grey areas are protected by levees. The light blue is a bit confusing but the legend says "0.2 Pct Annual Chance Flood Hazard". Not sure I follow that but it's what it says.

0.2% = 500 year event

Can you get in and out of Kingdom Heights?

The local news is doing a horrible job covering this river flood.. If we were relying on the news, we would never know its happening.

Unbelievably bad.

My dad lives in Simonton. They have about 4" to spare before water gets in their house.

Thanks for that. I wouldn't have guessed that was what it meant.

I've posted this report on two other threads this morning because some folks just follow one thread. Just so everyone knows what to possibly expect a little later this week and possibly next couple depending on how much more rain we get on the upper end.

PK now releasing 19,600 CFS. That's 10,000 more than when I reported yesterday at noon.

Grandbury releasing 23,500 CFS. That's 5,000 cfs more than yesterday last report. Whitney lake will flood again.

Proctor is +21 ft above normal and trying to hold water back as much as possible.

I expect ACE to hold as much water back as possible on the Whitney lake and Lake Waco, because of the flooding already underway down stream on the Brazos. Both of those lakes have some flood capacity left at the present. They will help act as a "bumper to help absorb the shock" of all the water run-off.

Lake Sumerville on the lower Brazos is +21 feet above normal. That's 1.42 feet above normal Flood Capacity. They don't have much room left. And that dumps into where they are having all the flooding on the lower river now.

The town of Breckenridge is experiencing flooding. City water supply system has been compromised.

Most of the lakes in the Breckenridge-Abilene region have reached full or above capacity. They "were" way down and still experiencing drought conditions before this last good rain in that area out to Abilene.

Just amazing how far this is spreading out. Glad those levees are holding.

I saw an update from Ft Bend Sheriff this morning that 359 & Mason is closed due to high water. That was around 6am ish or so. We've been out here since 1996 and we've never seen water like this.

Over or on the levee? It was on the levee yesterday afternoon when I went by.
