FLOOD ADVISORY - Information has been recently received by the Grimes County Sheriff's Office that reservoir flood gates from the Texas Muncipal Power Agency (TMPA) are being opened to release water due to flooding. This will likely cause water to go over the roadway on FM 244 (South of SH 30) at Gibbons Creek within the next couple of hours resulting in road closure
Hi, I’m traveling from San Antonio to Navasota over this weekend. Are any roads closed? Is there any flooding?
yes, theres flooding, but maybe by this weekend the water will go down.
I was born Navasota in December 19 1939. The Brown and Barnett Family’s move to California in about 1940 or 1941 not sure. My gold is to come visit Navasota before I die. And check it out. My Wife and I plane too travel Next year 1918. We have Ford Tuck and a 34 foot travel Trailer. Hope I get my wish.
Does anyone know if the prison is ok? I have a loved one housed in the Luther Unit!
