Tropical Weather Threat For Texas

[Smell the Glove]

Evacuees from new territory coming our way now.

9 trillion gallons

Force and power is in weight, moving. Believe 9 trillion gallons of water (at 8 lbs/gal) comes to about 36 billion TONS.

Yeh everything's whipping around.... getting concerned with a couple trees...

Wind gust are bad here as well Johnny. Praying these big Pines and Oaks stay where they belong!

It's whipping like crazy up on the north end of Lake Conroe as well. I'm afraid the waterlogged ground ain't gonna hold these hardwoods

My power went off then came back on after a serious gust. I can't sleep with these kind of winds with all these trees around.

Man, that big red patch on the radar is just streaming right up the middle of Liberty county and hammering us!! Something happened to my rain gauge out on the pole in the back yard... It stopped working at 22.7" about an hour ago, and the rain rate is saying 0.0... it's been pouring here for the whole time, probably 3-4"/hour... When it stopped total was 33.69" since noon Friday... The way it's raining right now, I'd bet we're crowding 40"!!

This ain't fun no more! So far, the house is still sitting high an dry on this little island in the middle of 30 acres of pasture that looks like East Bay!

Do you think the lake is taking on more water from this storm compared to last year's floods? Curious as to what the west fork is going to do behind our house.

North of Conroe, San Jac is WELL over its bank. Where it crosses highway 30 west of Hunstville, water is clear over the guard rails. There may not even be a bridge left when the water subsides

Hate hearing that Charlie but glad to see your house is still high n dry! Man what a ride.

Looks like we are finally catching a little break over here so I'm gonna try and get some sleep. These winds over here were intense and a bit unexpected.

Still dumping north of yall. Bedias has been receiving 1 to 3" per hour for the last 24 hours. All that water is headed downstream. Even college station is flooded

Lake Conroe has increased release rate to 73,201. My daughter lives off 2854 and she told me the news they were watching at work ( Fox 26) had fire chief on saying they were evacuating her subdivision and they had two hours to get out.
She works at Texas Children's and they have her crew on 24/7 because of the weather situation. She called me about 30 minutes ago freaking out because she cannot get there in time.

last I heard was 68,000...McDade is evacuated. My brother in law and his family had to head to his parents house. They are towards the front and over next to 336, so they will be the last to catch water by reason of distance, but it isn't looking good. I'm headed down to the lake at daylight to see how it looks now. All the boathouse decks were under water earlier today and water was up in the yards

To put it in perspective, if my memory serves correctly, in 1994 they were letting out 62,000 or thereabouts, when San Jacinto bridge in Humble was under water. Dear lord, this is stinking ugly

[ecallarman]

receiving massive rain and some moderate wind in and around Beaumont. Wow

Does anyone know if 99 north is open all the way to 290 from sugar land and if 290 west is open to hwy 6? Drive Texas is showing it open but want to make sure before I head out.

290 has water over the rd at barker to Skinner. A unit was trying to escort some airboat crews and to turn around.

This is coming off county radio in my truck about 440am

Think 99 is closed at the river as well
