[QUOTE="richg99, post: 440666, member: 4376"] Obviously, we are not out of the woods yet, not by a long shot. The major issue is that we are on the Gulf of Mexico coast. That means that we are already nearly at sea level. I think my place, which is 70 miles inland, is about 20 feet above sea level. As they are now releasing water from two large reservoirs (Addicks and Barker). Those waters will flow into Buffalo Bayou and finally into Galveston Bay. All of that new flow will slow down the outflow of water from the Northern ends of the city. Additionally, every drop of rain that drops, even way to the North of town, will also have to flow out via the same two rivers (San Jacinto and Trinity) and on into Galveston Bay. All of this d@#$ water is flowing into one place. Sooner or later, there will be more water flowing out than the rivers and bayous can handle at one time, and there will be backups up my way. The only hope is for it to STOP RAINING long enough to let nature take its course and let the waters go down to the sea. richg99 p.s. my daughter lives a few miles from us. Here is a picture she just sent me showing her street. She is still dry, ...but, note the kayakers helping out! [/QUOTE]
