FBCLID 2 received up to 8 inches of rainfall inside the levee over the past 6 hours. The William “Bill” Little Pump Station is in operation and all pumps are running. The water elevation in the FBCLID 2 ditches is 65 feet, which is less than 1 foot of the lowest homes in FBCLID 2.
The Brazos River is forecasted to crest on Friday, May 10th near FBCLID2, located in Sugar Land, Texas. The forecasted water elevation in Ditch H created by the Brazos River will remain 3 feet below the bottom of the FBCLID2 levee. However, additional rainfall is still forecasted through the weekend and all rainfall runoff will need to be pumped out of the levee.
