Video of the flooding taking place in The Woodlands, Texas on August 27th, 2017. This includes video of the spillway on Kuykendahl Road and Woodlands Parkway. It also has video of Timber Ridge and Flintridge.
I am really glad you posted this video! It's an excellent video. Well done! Thank you for just the sound of the rain and flowing water. Your video shows exactly what I was curious about.
Thx for the video. No mention in comments that Woodlands is a unique, environmentally designed community and the video seems to show that the many various natural drainage systems (ditches, swales, natural collectors all in grass and trees) actually worked. Flooding here looks much less than in other parts of poorly planned Houston. Ian McHary, one of the greatest US Landscape Architects, was behind The Woodlands initial planning and design, sponsored by the oil maganate Mitchell.
Richard Denson I'm glad that your house didn't flood & we're getting ready now for a hurricane coming to to North Carolina in the next few days from now I hope everything goes for us in North Carolina & the east coast usa.
This clip should be titled "Good News: the spillway worked". It looks like the area was developed knowing that Lake Conroe's dam would be breached and flooding would occur.
Well between it being built on a swamp, land sold at a premium, and not adequate water release it should be expected..especially the south part of the woodlands..doesn't look too bad I think last year was worse..
Instead of Location, Location, Location...Now it's ELEVATION, Elevation, Elevation. I have been preaching about crooked, politically connected, bottom land developers for years. There is a reason the farmers call it bottom land. Here in my area many folks have had their slab on grade homes elevated to stay out of street floods as high as 4 feet. DO NOT trust real-estate agents, developers, or politicians. Get a topo map before you purchase a property.
G Philip C you'd be real pissed off if you knew about people they pay to rent in new developments to get tax payers to foot the bill for new sewer money, it was pretty complex but an obvious money racket between politicians and developers..check out the development that was the Boy Scout camp in Conroe..
I went to texas 6th september 17 most of the flooding had gone and people trying to get there houses in order. I seen alot of the damage it wasnt nice. The people were still friendley in high spirits and realy welcoming. I realy enjoyed my stay there and the people are amazing to keep up good spirits in such a bad time. I hope your all getting on well
In the U.K in the average year there is around the same rain fall as sunshine, but this year we saw more sun than rain as if the rain was going elsewhere. It seem like the rain was being stored up only to fall on you as hurricane Harvey seemed to drop more water than your average hurricane.
Thanks for posting this. My 19 yr old grandson was shipped down to the Woodlands mall to help out from up here in McKinney , TX. I believe he arrived yesterday. Was worried & was out here looking for what was going on in this area. Thank You.
the city knew where low areas are and should have baricaded the roads. they need to pay for not doing anything to protect those people who had a right to have been warned. even a cop had no warning. the goverment in houston needs to be replaced with someones who give a shit.
I love water, however this is way too much. Five feet in one day is mental. I hope and pray everything will return to normal, and maybe better then it was before this happen.
As I watch videos ,I just say wow nothing like this I could only imagine how to deal with this.please take care one another be safe if u can God bless u Houston Texans.
This is horrible! Thank God the death toll is nowhere near what Katrina was and you don't have dead bodies floating by. 😢. Prayers going up for Texas! ❤️🙏🏻
And I think it is only going to get worse... I am at college and my family lives near Spring Creak. Flintridge/Kuykendahl, they are doing ok but I hope everything stays that way..
The places I know in The Woodlands that is prone to flooding is around Spring Creek. Grogan's Point entrance, Timberlake/Timberidge (not Woodlands) and Golf Course. I recognize Glen Loch, Lake Woodlands and I believe Branch Crossing in the video. The Woodlands as a whole does not flood. The only hazard in The Woodlands with storms, or hurricanes are wind. I live very close to a bayou when it stops raining or light rain, it drains fast. I've been living there since Kathy Whitmire was first elected mayor of Houston.
FYI, The Woodlands is a master-planned community and census-designated place (CDP) in Montgomery County the U.S. state of Texas in the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metropolitan area. The Woodlands is 28 miles (45 km) north of Houston along Interstate 45. Houston is mainly in Harris County.
Is there anyway we can get assistance for aerial spraying in this community as well as River Plantation and other affected communities? This is going to be a mosquito infected swamp which could produce West Nile Virus unless we demand help
Thanks for posting this! This is very reassuring and not bad at all compared to what I feared flooding here may look like. For this to have been HARVEY, this is nothing!
clean up and rebuild ?? These positions will require you to travel to various locations around texas . low wages low pay ** do not provide housing, per diem, meals, or transportation to our office.** LOW PAYING TEXAS WONT GET REBUILT QUICK: look at the top of the food chain pay grade. aint worth loosing money going to texas . these are the good government jobs prevailing wage type of work. regular construction pays much less. 1 } DEPUTY BUILDING OFFICIAL - City of La Porte - La Porte TX 77571 $22.56 - $29.33 an hour 2} Utility Worker II City of Pasadena - Pasadena, TX $27,884 - $41,793 a year 3 } Painter Houston Independent School District - Houston, TX $28,581 a year
Woodforest Bank HQ is there....if they could accept donations from their customers...$1-up.....they could give to local agencies to help...ijs! I don.t have much...but I.m gonna see what I can do!
Oooo poor people ... my fellow Americans, I hope you know how does it feel to the people in Irak, Iran, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Vietnam, Serbia, Sirya, Libia ...where our govermant strike with bombs. Now you know how is without food, water, petrol, medicaments and home. So many enocent people died in last 30 years because of our angels of death. Good will destroy us all.
Export or sell as much as possible and make money for the rainy day don't try rebuilding now. Wait. Maximum sale of unwanted home equipments. Unwanted Dying trees and plants also should be sold.

M. Mehr nowhere in Houston is inmune to flooding. The Woodlands is just better designed and has retained lots of its vegetation and green areas to slow down storm waters.
Оо.. классно водичка..америка столько кричит про свою уникальность..хотя как в реале обычные фермеры..даже с водичкой справится не могут..куда им всем миром управлять..если даже дома бардак..
What the hell?? Where on earth is this water coming from I just understand!! Rain alone can't obviously produce this amount of water & since I've never been to Texas & don't know anything about it I'm just in shock at how much water there is!!😣😣😥 (I'm from England)
FYI, The Houston-Galveston-Brazoria Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (Houston CMSA) consists of eight counties: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery and Waller. I lived in Houston and then the Woodlands in the late '70's. It was clear that the area would grow!
Hopefully some won't just look at these tragedies as mother nature. Maybe they will look at it as a message. When you have people such as Micheal Michelle Berry as your neighbor the Karma is endless. Speedy Recovery to all the good people in the Woodlands. Join me for breakfast every morning at Katz's.
To date the bulk of the footage I've seen of Houston has been either downtown, Buffalo Bayou between downtown and the Heights and north of the city. Nothing down Clear Lake way or Baytown.
Hello, hope you are safe and okay. I work for Reuters news agency and we are interested in using this footage. Did you film this? I can be reached on my email ayat.basma@thomsonreuters.com. Thank you.

Houston floods like this every 25 years, this storm barely beat the 90s storm, 92 or 94 I forget. It's called the bayou city for a reason. People say the storms are worse but in reality they are the same, look up the great storm of 1900. We have had 4 storms in the past 20 years they called "500 yr floods". Now there are 6 million people in Houston, so each storm becomes more expensive and "destructive". Unfortunately, it will probably happen again in the next 25 years, there will be more Katrina's, more Harvey's, just Google gulf hurricane history. It only goes back 100 years, with out air conditioning there would be no houston
its looks like the rain fall was not that heavy. But yet the flooding was epic. I have seen it rain far worse in houston and it never flooded like this. Could it be the blow up a dam or something?
