JUDGE MATT SEBESTA:

Not at all.

Actually, our worst flooding is in front of us for the west side of the county. We have two major rivers that flow through the west side, the San Bernard River and the Brazos River.

Both of those are in major flood stage. They're still rising. We had a major flood on the Brazos River last year, where the crest was at 52.56. We're already above that level. And we will be in major flood stage for many days to come.

It will be pouring a whole lot of water out into its floodplain, going into another body of water, Oyster Creek, which will spread out. Last year, when this happened, Oyster Creek was running at below normal. The ground was dry. In some areas, we have had up to three feet of rain in this county over last three to four years — or three to four days.

So, every low spot, all the creeks and bayous, are full already. All of this river water that will flow out will just make it even worse. And that water will continue to flow through the county for many days to come.
