A 45min route took me 5 hours to get. It's crazy right now in Htown. Beltway South is shut down, Memorial Drive is freaking war zone bruh. 290W is open but you gonna be in that b**** for awhile. ****KKK!
Crazy because all the roadways are bumper to bumper & ppl driving crazy? Or just so many alternate routes, road debris and damage, water still on roads etc. why it took so much longer?
I can walk 200 feet out of my front door and monitor the water level on the South side of the bayou. He has not been wrong on any of his postings for us past the Tollway. My issue with the City's release yesterday was it's easy misinterpretation. They said something to the effect that if you are in a house that is flooded on the first floor water could reach the second floor... what they were trying to do is get people to leave their flooded house. But it was said in a way that panicked my neighbors into abandoning the homes again or going back in to put their furniture up. Our security officers were misquoting it also which didn't help. I was showing everyone I could Jeff's post to calm **** down.
Nope I was one of the Land Planners involved in it's design and development. The Civil Engineers gave our office the parameters for the floodwater retention and we designed them into the land plan. They designated the levee heights, acre feet of retention inside the levee and sized the pumps we designed the lakes and routed the drainage to meet their criteria.
The BW btw Bellaire and i10 is shut down bc it's still underwater so folks are having to take 10 around to 610, if you can avoid the Galleria area until it reopens you'll save time.
What stores opening back up now? Home depot/lowes I assume will be crazy now, if they can even restock yet from pre storm depletions. Looks like Sams club is, or some locations have at least. MOst grocery stores, anything else?
How does Memorial / Highway 6 look currently? Asking for a friend. His house got flooded. Pretty hard to get around there.
Use this map to see street flooding; https://map.u-flood.com/houston/#10.29/29.7182/-95.5839 That part of town is going to be underwater for at least a few weeks.
Channel 13 is showing an aerial view of that area under water and a large fire that HFD is letting burn itself out.
I and my family left for Little Rock to stay with my wife's parents until we get power back. I have reason to believe it came on last night. Assuming that it did...I'd be taking 59 all the way down...passing through king wood. I know Kingwood has flooding, but is the freeway passable all the way into town?
https://traffic.houstontranstar.org/layers/ Use this site for road closures, it also has live camera feeds to check; part of 59 close to Kingwood isn't showing up, I'd check the cameras for those parts. Good luck.
Everything bruh. You got rescue units, swat team, bumper to bumper, debris is the worst part of it. All the fast food and restaurants are open though.
Do not, I repeat do not go down that route!!! Most if not all are blocked. You can't go anywhere. Don't!
I've tried using that...not sure it's giving me a good answer to my question; particularly when, as you say, part of 59 isn't even showing up on their map. And I'm concerned about any trouble spots before we get to the immediate area.
Try this page; you can scroll through all the cameras along 59/69N; https://traffic.houstontranstar.org/cctv/transtar/by_roadway.aspx?mnu=freeway&rd=IH-69_Eastex
Good to hear, means supply trucks are getting through. More stuff should come back to life soon. ... swat teams?
