That doesn't mean crap if you leave close to a creek like the people I was helping in the Tomball area
Now .... I have to say, that his house was the only one that flooded in his neighbor, since it's at the lowest point

Beautiful house .... but really ****ty location

Huntwick, north of FM 1960, just south of Cypress Creek, dry. I think a few lost power for a brief period but we didn't.

Woodwind Lakes, north of 290 on the northwest side inside the beltway. Excellent drainage, no homes or even streets flooded at any time during Harvey (or 2015 and 2016 floods for that matter).

Nearby neighborhoods include Rolling Fork, Laurel Creek, Oak Lake Pointe and as far as I know no homes in these neighborhoods flooded either. Rolling Fork creek and White Oak Bayou to the south both contained entirely within their banks in this area.

The Trace at Long Meadow Farms (the new section behind Gallery Furniture), ho houses flooded, there was street flooding that never got past the curb.

Telfair in Sugar Land had no houses flooded, and only minor street flooding. it remained drive-able during the whole week.

Out in Cypress, only a few neighborhoods actually had homes that flooded outside of Blackhorse Ranch South, CCL, Stonegate, and Hot wells. Granted there was a lot of localized street flooding, but that occurred all over, and for the most part the area performed well compared to a lot of neighborhoods in Katy, Sugarland, or Kingwood for example. It's really sad to see what happened in Riverstone. On another note, I wonder just how much of a premium land that doesn't flood in suburban Houston will develop over time if storms of this magnitude keep becoming more frequent.

Bay Area of Houston, around Ellington. No flooding in my subdivision. I'm not in a flood zone. 46" of rain in the nearest bayou gauge. I've always had flood insurance, though not required by the mortgage lender, and am just getting ready to pay the bill for next year. Why? This is Houston. Welcome to the potential for a flood or a surge just about anywhere, not to mention wind damage.

All you have to do is go to the floodplains map page and click on "watersheds"
I live right on the line between 2 watersheds

No one is asking for your address, tinfoil hat.

Some houses just west of 99 in Cinco Ranch south of Westheimer Parkway, flooded. Could see cleanup efforts. Water has receded. My friend in the same neighborhood had water almost to the front door and water markings on one side of the house-none inside.

Condos north of San Felipe south of Woodway off Bering and Augusta Drives. No street flooding on Bering north of San Felipe.
