Upstream pool flooding when reservoirs hold water; downstream release risk along Buffalo Bayou.
Underpasses and some Energy Corridor intersections flood early (Harvey megathread accounts).

If you live upstream of Addicks/Barker, monitor USACE reservoir pool levels, not only bayou stage. r/houston
If you live downstream along Buffalo Bayou / Memorial, watch for controlled releases from Addicks/Barker. r/houston
Use the USACE Addicks/Barker dashboard plus Ready Harris alerts, dashboard alone is not an evacuation order. USACE
Energy Corridor: treat underpasses and Briar Forest / Wilcrest-type intersections as first-to-flood driving hazards. r/houston
Katy / Cinco Ranch / Barker edge: research whether the parcel is upstream pool, downstream release path, or outside. r/houston
Never drive into flooded roads or underpasses, depth hides and water can sweep the car. r/houston
Turn Around Don't Drown, especially at Energy Corridor and other below-grade underpasses. r/houston
