If it's any consolation we, @ work, keep an eye on the river level. The Brazos is @ our back door. The Nat. weather serv. says the river crested on Friday @ 50.7 and has reached 50.4 today @5pm. The forecast says a slow drop until Thurs. then more rapid drop. This is @ the Rosharon station.

NWS had it cresting at 51.4 on Friday. 1 foot makes a HUGE difference.

Brazos River not looking to good
This land had never had the Brazos on it 100 years prior to this flood in 2016. The state building up HWY 35 2' higher, between Angleton and West Columbia, with no additional drainage, screwed us too. They essentially built a dam..
Holding back that extra 2' of water on the north side spreads and does a lot of damage.. That's one reason the 2 highest crests are since the highway rebuild..

Looking at the ACE websight, Whitney is now releasing over 16,000cfs. Other lakes releasing include Belton, Stillhouse, and Limestone. Waco is letting a little water out also. So please beware of the combined release may cause another surge in river level at various places on the river. Remember, the release rates could still increase on any of the projects.
Total, it looks like a combined release rate around 30,000cfs for the middle and lower Brazos.

It can’t work for long for the folks in SE Texas.
