There was a post yesterday about 1000’s of homes being washed away in Houston and everything downstream of Katy......it was debunked as rumor and false
but I think there might be some truth to it......
I have been doing research....there are two old earthern dams west of Houston called the Barker and Addicks.....they hold back tons of water ......development west of them has caused more runoff.....they have a history of seeping and HIGH RISK..repairs have started but Im not sure how far they got
There are several news articles about the issue and danger of them failing..google
they had issues with 10-12 inch storms before..with seepage...20-25 in the right spot
a training band of storm is setting up right over them now too
I have believe there is a chance they will fail...
Monitored Water Supply Reservoirs are 82.7% full on 2017-08-26 (shows Barker and Addicks 0% and 0.1% capacity)
