Katy, Saturday, September 2, 2017, 7:30 PM

Another routine day.    We're still camping out at Sarah's place in Katy and it looks like we'll be here for a few more days.  According to the Brazoria County website, County Road 400 is closed from CR 762 to FM 2004.   This is the same closure the County imposed last year.  Back then the southeast end of the road was indeed under water but the northwest end, closer to where we live, was actually open -- just "closed" because that was a convenient administrative shortcut.  

Reports from friends:

• From Phil, southwest of Sweeny near the Matagorda County line: Their house isn't flooded but daughter's house is, so daughter and family (including dogs) are staying with Phil and Susan.

• From Mickey, on the banks of the San Bernard River: Their house has about six inches of floodwater.  Mickey, her daughter and grandson are currently at daughter's house but planned to evac north sometime today. Husband Sam is still in the house, camping on the second floor.

• From Jamie,  in Angleton: High and dry.  Angleton never flooded.

• From Lisa, in Lake Jackson: High and dry in their second floor apartment but surrounding land is all flooded.

• From Jim, in Columbia Lakes: Evacuated to his sister's house in Tulsa; not sure about flooding at his house.   

We all went to dinner tonight at the local Red Robin.  Back home now, watching television.  Local stations have preempted normal programming to report on flood conditions.
