Harris County Flood Control has been actively working on channels!.The heaviest storms occurred under relatively narrow bands of training supercells.The amount of rainfall was within the designed capacity of most channels.Rainfall came in two waves separated by several hours, allowing the first peak to start working its way through the system before the second hit.“Our collaboration with HCFCD will take data from gauges across the region and give the public another tool to manage the threat of flooding in our area.Despite heavy weekend rains, with a few exceptions, streams and channels stayed within their banks. “Water level determination is essential knowledge during potential flooding events,” said Chuck Gilman, Director of Water Resources and Flood Management for SJRA.

The notifications are based on information gathered at over 250 gauge locations across the region by numerous agencies, including Harris, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Galveston, and Waller Counties, City of Mont Belvieu, City of Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and SJRA. Automated alert notifications are delivered via text message or e-mail when defined rainfall or water level values are reached at specific rainfall and stream gauges, alerting residents of potential high water threats. Flood Warning System (FWS) Alerts: A joint partnership between HCFCD and SJRA, FWS Alerts provide residents of Montgomery, Harris, and surrounding counties information on water levels and rainfall. ![]()
