Brazos River Flooding

[Willie]

I just posted a video taken at short distance from my house yesterday.

I estimate it crested about 18' above normal. I have some video from my back yard as well, but havent edited it yet.

If you have problems with the video, just click on the email link on the webpage and I will try and help you out.

Can't get it to work. All I get is the quicktime Q.

Did you download and install the latest Quicktime? I guess I should have put that on the webpage. Here is the link.

Download Quicktime​

It is a free download. You can just unclick the check boxes and you dont have to put in an email address.

Wow, that is one angry river.

Good video Willie.

My brother told me they failed to put some slack in the lines that hold the floating restraunt down town and the bow is being held under the rising water.

Get a pick of that one if you get a chance...


Thanks,
Joe

The water is already down most of the way. The 'Brazos Queen' has two floors and on TV I saw video of it from the top of the staircase on the second floor. The water was almost to the ceiling of the first floor. I will try to get out and post some pictures of the aftermath, but it is not nearly as impressive as the crest.

That sucks! All that water is headed for me, but is not expected to reach flood stage....just 14' above full bank.

What!?!?! No drift diving? And you call yourself a diver!

Man, get out the innertubes and come coolers, looks like a fun float!

I am in the process of uploading another video of the Brazos flooding. My link is slow right now for some reason. It should be available by 2:30 am CDT.

This video is from behind my house and my neighbors house. My neighbors boat is in the boat house.

I did get my wetsuit on and swim out to the boat house when the water got low enough to check out the boat for him. Just for grins, I took my 10w light and put it in the water, after it was about 3" in the water, you couldnt see it at all. The water looked like chocolate milk.

Feel free to forward the link if you want and let me know if you have problems.
