very concerned about Jefferson county area in TX as a meso vortex is sitting and spinning there..

Beamont port author area..metro has 400,000 people
I have a storm total there of 40 inches at the airport

if they aren’t careful they will break the 51ish record from SE harris county

ACE HAS mentioned they CAN run Addick at 8000, and Barker at 8,900, but they also said they had no plans to go past 8000, total for both.

The roller compacted concrete used for the aux spillways typically has no rebar in it. The spillover paths are not improved, or controlled, or even inspiring of confidence, they are random, thru neighborhoods. I could see strong measures to avoid using them. I don’t understand strong measures that cannot avoid using them and my experience is that hydro guys, always facing “Dam gonna fail?” mentalities, tend to play cards close to the vest. Solid theory, solid practice, but you have to pry info out of them. Their bureaucratic counterparts..ignorant, penny pinching fools who also wait too long to speak.
