That guy from Fort Bend was a maroon. Didn’t know water level of Barker Dam, didn’t know how much notice people would get for evacuation, didn’t know how many homes would be affected. He really didn’t know much of anything beyond his name. He was an embarrassment to Fort Bend County Emergency Management.

Fort Bend County emergency management was just on KHOU, they're saying Barker Dam is about to top.Not yet; the web site is updated every few minutes and still shows 17-18 feet left.

KHOU reports a woman drowned when she got out of her car. Her body was found by her neighbor. Oh, man. Prayers up.
To: NautiNurse
Was listening to KTRH this evening and had to turn it off. I lived in Houston and have seen stalled storms before (1979). This is more than I could ever imagine. Praying forecasts are wrong and this will move north

Yesterday TX Gov. Abbott was pooh-poohed for saying Houston residents should evacuate. Well, now it is too late and in the next 48-hours Houston may experience a Katrina-type disaster. Shelter in place doesn’t work when your shelter goes under water. And the very worst case would be if those two retention dams upstream listed several years ago as structurely deficient were to fail.

Harris County flood official on KHOU says in the SE part of the county flooding is so bad that residents are climbing into their attics to escape the water. Water is too high to effect rescues in some areas plus there are many, many calls for help.

Harris County Flood Control Jeff Lindner is telling KHOU and public that if structure begins to flood, get to highest level possible. Due to impassable roads and the overwhelming number of requests for rescue from cars and homes, SAR is having difficulty meeting the requests from the public.
From several interviews--it appears a substantial number of people went out tonight to watch the fight at friend's house. Then they couldn't get home.

My mother grew up in Meraux, SE of New Orleans. She said, with total seriousness, they kept a couple of axes in their attic.
To: CedarDave
I heard that (15” in 3 hours) also. Incredible!
I’ve experienced that sort of rate, but only for 20 minutes...

Advice on KHOU is exactly that, just now: “Take an axe...”

The entire Houston metroplex just experienced 45 minutes of heavy rain. These current bands will clear past, but a new very nasty one will soon follow.

KHOU weather reporter said he got admin. permission before he came on air and said that if people must go into their attic to escape flood water—take an axe with you.

So he is implying a lot of flooded vehicles on road. Since many probably tried to drive home from the fight ?

My mother grew up in Meraux, SE of New Orleans. She said, with total seriousness, they kept a couple of axes in their attic.KHOU just reported that officals are telling those at home threatened with rising water that if you must climb to the highest point in your house which may be your attic, take an axe so that you can cut your way to the roof. In some areas of the city rainfall and flooding exceed those from Allison.

Two bayous in SE side of Houston (Edgebrook) have exceeded their limits. People are moving up to their attics to escape flood water.
