Brazoria, Monday August 28, 2017, 7:00 AM

We're going to have to evacuate.   County says both rivers --- the Brazos and the San Bernard --- will overflow creating a sheet of water from river-to-river.   We're now under a mandatory evac order:

• Brazoria County - County Judge Matt Sebesta has issued a MANDATORY EVACUATION for all residents living WEST of State Highway 288 and SOUTH of State Highway 6. Refer to attached map.
  An evacuation route has been established for State Highway 35 Westbound to Matagorda County to Northbound State Highway 71 reaching Interstate 10. Refer to map. THERE ARE NO OTHER EVACUATION ROUTES OUT OF BRAZORIA COUNTY. State Highway 35 WILL NOT be open indefinitely and will be unpassable with additional rains and river flooding. LEAVE NOW! Residents needing a place to go can shelter in Bell County. Self-Evacuation destination in Bell County will be the EXPO CENTER, 301 West Loop, Belton, Texas. Pets are welcome!

So that means we have to drive north on SH 36 to West Columbia before we can even get to to SH 35.  But no word on the status of SH 36.
