[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1851163, member: 18945"] My sisters got 5" last night in San Jacinto County, with hail. The East Fork river had just returned down yesterday morning. I'm guessing it will start back up now. Lake Livingston is letting out a lot of water and Trinity bottom's from dam to Liberty flooded. Livingston and Conroe dams are both releasing massive amounts of water. The East Fork San Jacinto expected rise next few days: [ATTACH type="full" alt="efork5-2-24.jpg"]44255[/ATTACH] Today's news report: [I]MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Officials are warning residents south of Lake Conroe Dam near the San Jacinto River that they should prepare for significant flooding due to a release of water from the lake to account for ongoing heavy rain. Walker and northern Montgomery counties saw rainfall totals as high as 16 inches overnight. That, coupled with already saturated grounds, is causing the San Jacinto River Authority to release 13,400 cubic feet per second (CFS) from Lake Conroe. Officials predict that amount will have to increase due to the amount of water the lake is receiving. "This is going to cause significant flooding to areas south of Lake Conroe. Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (MCOHSEM) is working with the San Jacinto River Authority to understand the effects of these releases downstream," the county said in a statement. "(The San Jacinto River Authority) will start gradually seeing it as it builds up because the River Authority was releasing at slower increments, and then they kept increasing the releases as their model forecasts was showing that they were having far more water inflow into the lake than they are releasing," he said. "As the lake level rises, they have to raise the gates. Otherwise, you have an uncontrolled release and it's a very dangerous situation for everybody. And so it's an unfortunate thing when you have 17 inches of rain overnight in the northern watersheds that already had 10 inches of rain two days earlier. That's, added up, almost Harvey-level amount of rainfall."[/I] ..................... [I]The Lake Conroe area is not the only place bracing for more flooding.
