Sure, because Hurricanes have never hit Texas before

Was this caused by global warming too?

The good news is that I have been watching the details. Some meteorologists have noted that some dry air is wrapping around the storm and moving dry air into the area.

So I have been studying the radar and from the weather stations reporting that are along the coast, the winds are coming more out of the west now, instead of coming up from the gulf. So it is not raining all the way to through Freeport along the coast... and it seems to be pushing more inland.

So hopefully it will keep pushing it's way up into Meyerland and into the rest of the city.

The 45 corridor to Galveston is going to get some hard rain again, but there is very little rain on the back side of it. It's not raining in Manvel and Angleton right now. Hopefully the dry will push through quickly.

I hope I am reading this correctly.

From your lips to Gaia's ears.

The problem is once Harvey hits the Gulf it will draw deep Gulf moisture back in.

I'm just looking what is occurring now and what I see as a positive with an increasing area along the coast getting virtually no rain.

IF it gets back to the coast, then we will deal with it.

What should we expect after the releasing of the dams?

What should we expect after the releasing of the dams?

Controlled release of Barker & Addicks Reservoirs to impact thousands | khou.com

TLDR (or watch in this case): the water being released has the potential to raise the water level of Buffalo Bayou even more, however this depends solely on how much rain falls and whether or not the Bayou has a chance to recede a little before and during the release. The office of emergency management representative stresses that compared to what is already there, this is not a huge amount of water.

To the NW of the reservoirs, they expect thousands of more homes to flood. However this is NOT due to the controlled release. This is simply because so much water is flowing in from the watersheds faster than the release could ever get rid of it. So that flooding really has nothing to do with the release and if anything the release is a (futile) attempt to mitigate it.

It was pretty clear in the video/article that the media didn't quite understand the message :/ The title of the article alone is misleading

Jeff - The guy explaining what's going on - He said Addicks will be releasing a steady flow first. The release will be less than what's being dumped in. So there will be flooding from the reservoir into low lying neighborhoods and then flooding along the Buffalo Bayou -- Where the release flows out and dumps in the ship channel. He did say the Buffalo Bayou is full.


There is a map out there for those to check.

Thanks! Will places in the Energy Corridor flood?
