Residents describe Brays Bayou house flooding in major events and street flooding in lesser rains.
Repeat-flood history is a frequent buying caution versus one-time Harvey floods elsewhere.
Many homes raised post-Harvey; verify elevation vs BFE.

Watch Brays Bayou gauges before and during heavy rain if you are in Meyerland / Braeswood / Bellaire corridors. r/houston
Bookmark HCFWS Brays gauges (Stella Link #430, Rice Ave #440) for live levels, not Facebook screenshots. HCFWS
Buying in Meyerland: check flood history beyond only flooded in Harvey, repeat floods are a known local pattern. r/houston
If a Meyerland/Braes home was raised, verify finished-floor elevation against current BFE, not just it looks tall. r/houston
Westbury / Waterhole Bayou pockets: check south-of-neighborhood drainage, not just frontage roads. r/houston
