Hurricane Harvey - August 27th, 2017
The rain is coming down at 4 in/hr for three hours now
The water is falling faster than the streets can drain
Dad is equally concerned and he takes a photo at 2am as well
Saturday morning, the street and homes along Castlewood are flooded
The end of the street was not a good place to park your car
Even with three more days of rain, this will be the high water mark
Meanwhile on Alderwood at Bay Area Blvd, looking upon Countryside Park, the water has risen mightily
The roadway will be blocked for the next five days with high water
Park at the Junior High and walk down Palomino Lane
The parking lot at Clear Springs High School is not flooded despite being a quarter mile from Clear Creek
Only high vehicles could drive down to the High School
See, I told you, only high vehicles can drive down here
The High School is staying high and dry thus far, lets hope it survives three more days of rain
Alex enjoys walking in the rain and high water on our proximity check

Back to Bay Area Blvd at Countryside Park where volunteers are busily rescueing stranded residents
The park and bridge are completely submerged and will be until next Friday
Odd that oak trees are growing in the middle of a lake
Be advised that softball has rained out tonight
The park was designed to capture all the flood water and it did its best but there was just too much!
Resident congregate in the high crown of the roadway
Erin uses the new concrete wall just installed the last 4 months
Erin is happy to get more use out of these water proofboots

It is hard to launch your boat on a flooded street
The term "future" is even more distant now

A dually braves the high water and pushes a foot high wake . . .
. . . Into the flooded houses to the right and up to my waist
Eagle Lakes and Hope Lutheran have high water around and within
Erin's Kindergarten teacher lives just beyond on Lakeview Cir.
Hope Lutheran may have been built high enough to remain dry
The big trucks can make it but not so much for the cars
The two houses that flooded here, the one on the left very much so
Erin wades in the street outside the Fwood Jr. High entrance
Now take FM-518 back to League City but stop before I-45
Water pools up outside of Clear Lake Meadows subdivision and we stop to watch the single file line of cars wade through
This is just a low spot in the road, there is no creek nearby
There is a drainage ditch up past The Landing that drains into Clear Creek
But the drainage ditch is five streets further up there
Take a peak inside Clear Creek Meadows Subdivision and find high water

The neighborhood behind ours has drained and the residents are already pulling their carpet and sheetrock out
The drainage ditches between our neighborhoods remain in their banks
The nearest high water to our house is still over a 1000 feet away
