Our trip from Brazoria to Katy took far longer than normal due to numerous roads closed due to flooding. After several false starts, we managed to get over to SH-99 (modestly known as "The Grand Parkway"), headed north, crossed under I-10 with no problem, and got to Sarah's place ten minutes later.
Since then we've been keeping an eye on Houston TV stations for flood news (with several interruptions for kid cartoons). News from southern Brazoria County is scant so we still don't know what's going on. According to NOAA the big bulge in the Brazos river caused by upstream rainfall hasn't arrived in Brazoria yet. When it hits we've been told that it will overflow and join overflow from the San Bernard to create a continuous river-to-river sheet of floodwater. If that happens it will definitely hit our house.
Here's NOAA's prediction for Richmond. Whatever happens in Richmond will hit Brazoria a day or two later.
More photos coming soon.
