Rundown: >Water released from Barker and Addicks Reservoirs is expected to cause a rise of 4-6" per hour downstream >Water is still rising 1.5 feet per hour in reservoir >More rain forecast for Houston area >HEAVY DOWNPOURS INCOMING BROTHERS
There's a guy driving around Houston in his SUV scoping. Roads looked fucked. Significant flooding and power outages. Traffic signals are down in most places.
Reminder that if you are anywhere that has manholes in houston, the rain can cause the manhole covers to be displaced, and then the Delta P effect can cause crazy suction into the sewers where you would be sucked into the sewers and unable to swim out, causing you to drown.
Reporting for former Katy /masterrace/, looks like Katy wasn't protected after all.
I just really want to get to college, I wanted this semester to be a really good one, I was supposed to go today but it looks like I might not even be able to go THIS WEEK damn it.
Plus I've only been here for a couple days and I'm already sick of hearing about Harvey. I wish for comfy Philly!

The vulture reporters need to thrown off the boats.

did you want a new thread or not faggot? i didn't see you go ahead and make one
Elijah Butler
Just wait until it goes out to sea and powers up to a Cat 1-2 and then hits them again
Oliver Wright
Van user reporting in. I found more cars on the overpass and parked by them thus enabling me to turn off my hazards. I need to come down and check out how bad things are now. Looks like Trump chased off the hurricane. Well done lads.
Anthony Gomez
Is it over yet?
Jose Martinez
Rainfall-wise, the worst is over. The rainfall in most of the areas are under half an inch, but there are a few places that are getting these really tiny but really severe rainfalls of over a foot. These bring the whole average up and stress then channels.
The severity of the rainfall is over, it's just a question of whether the infrastructure can handle the rest as the storm moves on and dissipates. Even if it picks up a bunch of moisture from its brief time back in the gulf, it won't compare to the rain we had before, but it can make flood relief take much longer.
Chase Scott
Fooding will last weeks, but right now it draining a bit and they are doing a lot of rescues
Samuel Harris
here this is what the effect looks like
basically, if you are downtown, do NOT go into the streets. there is a high chance that you could go near an open manhole where such suction (not visible) is happening and then you get trapped in fucking sewage and drown
Adam Harris
Got a Harris county deputy assigned to my boat. Gonna be a long day. Ill try to keep y'all posted.
Dominic Harris
Take care of yourself, user!
Ayden Rogers
theres like 3 more days of rain.
Adam Davis
Drowning in shit is a bad way to go.

It's over bro's the waters already up to my door
Cooper Gray
West Houston reeporting in
Street is still dry for now. I survived the first round or dam release. Spent last night stashing water for washing and putting valuables. Let's hope today sees a break in the weather. Still worried about my wife stuck at the hospital. Had reports of looters scouting the neighorhood yeaterday, so i am armed at all yimea now. Stay safe.

Thanks for making the thread user

Do you or anyone else know what's going on in Cinco Ranch? My cousin lives out there with his wife and four kids and I haven't heard from them since 1am

Fuck that shit, I'm glad I never consider that as a career.
Oliver Harris
Good luck!
Nathan Ramirez
Cypress user here. Water approaching from both sides of the street. I'm cut off now. One more rain band and I think I'm fucked. I'm looking over what supplies I have and considering building a dam. I don't have much to work with though.
Nathan Richardson
Someone post the Delta P video; water suction is no joke and it's super easy to get stuck and drown
Dylan Watson
I'm also in Katy, but my neighborhood's fine. It was halfway up my driveway last night, but the water has since receded completely here.
Hearing rumors power was cut before the dam release. Don't know much else, I have family there I haven't heard from either but if I get any info I will post for yoiu.
Ryan Johnson
Maybe today there will be enough receding of water for the real habbenings to start.

why the fuck do americans build on riverbeds
Ian Martin
No I was here until 3am, I had to go to bed to get the kid to school this morning. What happened?
Easton Russell
the correct term is strategic nigging
Asher Lee
Already started. Assholes were out in the rain looking in houses and cars around me. Will post pics if I shoot someone.
Mason Cruz
philly lol
Gavin Morris
Well here's a bone for you conspiracy buffs: The army corps of engineers are intentionally allowing subdivisions flood near the tow major dams that protect downtown Houston and the economic engine that is the Houston Ship Channel.
Owen Clark
Daily reminder that the fastest thing ever recorded in the atmosphere was a manhole cover on top of a nuclear bomb test which went 125,000 MPH.

Your cities are built on rivers as well user. most cities are. Just that not even the dutch can handle .7 of a meter of rain in less then 24 hours.
Luke Hughes
That's not much of a conspiracy, they pretty much have to do that. As long as dam controls exist, there's always the choice of "do we let this area flood or this area flood?"
Wyatt Morales
The happening is pretty much over.
Tyler Collins
The overall rain forecast is down (reduced from prior forecasts) for additional rain but shit is still pretty fucked in houston
where the fuck is my rain? theres no more bands forming
Joshua Gonzalez
JEB SURGE?
Thomas Robinson
Nope, it was pretty calm. The eye's just touching down on the gulf so we've got some fun ahead.
Robert Morris
>mfw not impressed Not enough dead spics and niggers.
Isaiah Garcia
That not a conspiracy, that fact. It can also be justified by loss of life, but the Corps job is to make sure those dams do not fail.
Connor Baker
Its fucking gone, a couple of fire ants rolled by and just tore it to fucking shreds. F
Charles Sanchez
And with the airports flooding and boats being more economical, boats are probably going to be key for relief (in providing accommodation for those displaced on cruise ships like they did during katrina, and for supplies).
Adrian Morgan
Fuck. Thank you user. I managed to send him the tweet about the early release of the dam, but he never replied. They live right next to the bayou. Im so scared right now.
Blake Lopez
why the fuck do people live in a flood prone area?
Brody Phillips
don't lose hope, it's only just begun.
Juan Myers
Man I'm just over here like...

Don't worry, user, the main part of spaghetti warehouse is the upper floor anyway.

Kevin Rogers

William Mitchell
Yeah but the corps is feds. And the hardest hit will be the well to do like cinco. Alex Jones will be all over this and blame deep state. Just a prediction.
Jace Bennett
could be worse, it's like 3 feet under
Angel Martin
I only went there once (spent ~10 months straight working in houston, stayed in a hotel a couple blocks down the street from that pic on congress ave) and I don't remember the spaghetti warehouse having the main part being on the second floor... but my memory could just be bad, I haven't been to houston since october 2014.

>DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRAVEL IN THE AFFECTED AREA IF YOU ARE IN A SAFE PLACE >DO NOT DRIVE INTO FLOODED ROADWAYS I wish more people actually knew this.
Jason Rivera
Lot of the areas flooding are not flood prone. its flooding areas that are 1000 year flood areas (.001) or even 2000 year flood areas (.0005) areas.
US restricts building in the 100 year flood zone (.01).

3 days of rain is just standard Houston weather, though.
Eli White
Is it still expected to hit the Gulf and come back for more?
Will Huston become the new Atlantis?
Adrian Lopez
It's just urban retards who don't understand what's happening
Benjamin Reyes
OPs pic related is why they didn't call for evac early for it's better to be stranded on a rooftop than drowning in a low-lying flooded highway nowhere near any help.
Sebastian Rodriguez
Could these areas have been built in a way that would better mitigate flooding or is this literally a freak of nature that is unavoidable?
Asher Sullivan
Yeah, pretty much every projection is showing the same thing.
Nolan Campbell
It's going to be the most costly storm financially in the history of the united states.
Asher Robinson
They're mostly poor areas. The city definitely knew it was a floodplain and built them there anyway because who cares
Owen Baker
Huston flood control can handle 6 inches in 24 hours (.25 a inch a hour), it may be down to 5 inches due to clogging.
So for example, right now a lot of the flooded areas are slowly draining. buffalo bayou will not be lowering due to the dam release.
There will also be inflows from upstream, but even if rain stopped, it would take a week to drain most of it, and some areas like the dam release area will be high for months.
Jason Garcia
the fuckin' loop-de-loop ones
Matthew Sanders
Spoke to relatives in cinco They didn't get flooded and have power but are the surrounding main roads are flooded. Keep trying.
GFS model has 25+ more inches of rain in some spots over the next 72 hours.
Lucas Garcia
theres 2 faggots who i assume are going to spend the day saying "its over" because they have been at it for like 3 hours already. I guess being communist didnt get them enough replies.
Jack Brooks
does anyone know how to build a raft using random wood of random sizes? All I have for a base is a wood pallet about 2x2 and a bunch of thin planks. Had a few useful ones but they washed away
Joseph Lee
what's the deal with Houston? Just some puddles, right? Why is everyone freaking out over some rain?
Camden Rivera
That place was in my captcha last night!?!?
