You broke the rules...

you gonna snitch?

just saw this on another site. trying to confirm...

IMPORTANT note for Greatwood residents. The weather channel just raised the Brazos River forecast to reach 59', which would top the Greatwood levee. Projected to hit Wednesday.

edit:

I knew that prediction they had been holding on to was wrong. Hopefully they're being overly conservative since they underestimated last year.

Everyone in Ft. Bend County are in a tight spot if this becomes reality.

Do you have the link to where they show the inundation map at a given water level for the Brazos? Of course they may have never put one together for 59'.

this one is 58'

Anyone know if there is a way for Dallas people with boats to help? I see help needed all over web, but mostly seems like south side.

I just watched on 13 news the forecast was an additional 18 to 24 inches between now and Wednesday.

Saw that too, but Frankie the ..... said he don't see it happenin'... He thinks the dry air will win out and reduce the rain amounts... Sure hope he's right!

Thank you. Im not sure how accurate it is though. My parents house was right at the edge of the flooding last year when the Brazos was swelling from all the rain upstream and that was at 54.5 ft. It was quite accurate last year when I was looking at it and going to check on them. Now the map is showing the same thing in their area with the river being an additional 4ft higher. I hear our levee is supposed to protect us to 61 ft but who knows if that is accurate. Once it is breached at any point it will swamp us all. The stress is beginning to take its toll. Im going to pray that the river doesnt hit the heights estimated.

Thanks for all of the kind words guys/gals! The post above is pretty amazing, and really sets things in perspective having 3 young children myself.

I'm just a weather enthusiast/geek that wanted to help spread the word on the potential of this whole deal, along with Johnny, Bonesplitter, and others. Never thought about how this thread could really have a serious impact for some. Amazing stuff!

Can't wait for the activity to be less about weather, and more about cool redneck stuff. Stay safe!

praying here too brother. it starts to cover such a wide area at that point it's probably very hard to predict. everyone just needs to be ready to evacuate prior to routes getting blocked off.

Are you in New Territory area?

[Red Man]

It may have been previously stated, but also the Colorado River in La Grange and Columbus are forecast to crest at record (Columbus) and 4th highest (la grange ) levels. Hopefully forecast I have read are incorrect. A lot of manadatory evacuation going on in these cities from what I hear from family in the area.
