    Regarding the reservoir releases... Are they just releasing water into the streets?

    Does the waze app navigate you around flooded areas for the most part?

    No, but since the drainage is so overrun that's effectively what's happening.

    They are just releasing water into water.

    That looks like the world's slowest horror movie. I thought it was scary watching the water just go up my driveway. Ugh.

    This damn thing is starting to rejuvenate itself now that it has made its way back to the coast. You can see the center around the Bay City area.

    The water typically goes into buffalo bayou. That bayou normally (without released water) would be falling, even with a little rain.

    Currently, the bayou is out of its banks. The PLAN is to release the water and keep the bayou at the same level, or drop slower with no rain.

    To answer your question, yes, but hoping the water will still reced, even with small amounts of rain.

    We are screwed if this thing doesn't follow it's projected path.

    It's showing signs of shifting north rather than flowing off east.

    We do not want that.

    If your car got flooded there are no rental cars available with enterprise. Their entire fleet is flooded. May take month's to get new cars.
