Per KHOU, now, ACE to reduce Addicks Gate outflow at 9pm to “inspect gate for structural problems.”
Also, more emphasis tonight on Buffalo Bayou flooding east of Piney Point. One foot rise forecast.
Oh man.Hope they can work it out.
It’s looking as though the Arkema chemical plant is likely to blow and apparently some concern the company will not disclose what chemicals are there, at risk. Since it’s become a public health problem that seems foolish.
IF there’s a problem, I wonder how fast ACE can get those guys back to shoot more expandable foam into the eroded voids, as they did in 2009?
Piny point is a couple miles down stream..why would the closest station to the DAM at west belt drive remain steady but the one further downstream rise a foot?

This is a bit north of Beaumont. Wide open might be 60,000 CFS (the present inflow).
