Google earth video with overlays showing where water fell, and where it will recede from as the Galveston District slowly reduces flow rates out of Addicks and Barker dams.

I just want to say I’m so thankful my neighborhood (alief) only flooded the streets but not the homes. God bless

Very nice video. I can't help but notice that the extent of inundation from your data appears to be greater than the maps that I have been able to obtain recently from Harris County Flood Control. Is this data modeled or from some other direct observation methodology? Are you aware if there is a definitive GIS data-set that defines maximum extent (and depth) for the Harvey event? Also, are you employed by the flood control district to do GIS or is this a hobby for you?

Really cool. Wish I could've seen all of the flooding occurring west and northwest of the reservoirs. There were folks rescued by boat not far from me.

What is the source of the flood extent imagery, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers? If so, what office provided it? This is a very nice animation. Unfortunately, it makes me relive the nightmare of being flooded near Buffalo Bayou.

@@theuptake Hi Michael, do you know where I can find the original imagery map of the days. I am currently doing a research about Harvey and flooding.

it appears this just shows the reservoirs and the river routes they drain through. this doesn't seem to show topography of each area of land and the elevation to show it's flood proof. some areas were completely underwater due to their topography elevation even when they were nowhere near any bayou

Houston is FLAT. Harris county is FLAT. This whole SE Texas is FLAT. The only way folks are raised higher is when their developer takes dirt and builds the home/property higher

Money for developers and the politicians of that time. Money talks, BS walks to offshore accounts.

There are no houses inside the reservoirs. The houses are behind the reservoirs, but since there are dams, if the reservoirs are over filled, guess where the water is going.... The reservoirs were built decades ago when all that area was rural countryside
