ok, i'm up

there was more rain
i should have gotten up earlier
the street is flooded again

but
the army corp of engineers
has to release 4400 cubic feet of water
from the addicks and barker reservoirs
into buffalo bayou
to release pressure
so
they don't
ya know, like
burst

that's about 33,000 gallons

i looked it up

my street is full
but not like up to my door

33,000 gallons
it's a lot
but
like for perspective
it's less volume than the tank at aquarium

and i don't know if it will be evenly distributed or not
probably not
but
if it all comes out at voss and san felipe
where the bayou is crested a few blocks from me
i don't believe that will be more water than i can deal with

now
if that happens
and
we get more heavy rain
i might flood
which would be bad
but
not life threatening

so
i guess
still safe
although
i don't feel as positive as i probably should
