  1. Concerned family member of Clergy and Deaconness from Grace Lutheran Church and school Brenham — are the children and Staff ok?

    1. Does anyone know if Bormann street has flooded ??? My cousin and her husband live there and I was wondering if they are ok ????? Tom and Robin Wertman , 805 Bormann Street !!

  2. Does anyone know how things are in Round Top and Warrenton area? My RV is in Warrenton at Dillard’s RV park on 237. I grabbed what all I could and drove home to Louisiana before the storm hit.

  3. Are they doing evacuation at Blinn College, just dropped my son off down there on Thursday from Dallas

    Very concerned parent

    1. I haven’t heard any news about our area evacuating. Rain has calmed down as of now. Wind is pretty strong still.

    3. We live very close to Blinn College. Everything is ok here. Your son will be fine as long as he stays off the roads.

  4. My husband was going to Houston for work and got turned around and had to stop for the night in navasota. How bad is the flooding on 6? I cant sleep worrying about him and haven’t heard from him in hours… his name is lofton, if anyone meets him or knows anything that would help me I would greatly appreciate any information.

    1. there is very little flooding in any of the Navasota, Brenham areas as long as people stay off the roads near creeks and rivers…

  6. does anyone know if it’s safe to drive from prarie view to Brenham state supported living center

    1. By tonight it won’t be it’s @50ft already I’m watching it because I work over night there

    1. I wouldn’t risk it I got stuck out there in last May’s flooding areas of 105 gets flooded fast and it’s ugly

  11. anyone know of conditions regarding any flood conditions at Brenham State Supported LivingCenter?

  13. Question: have dental appt in Belleville Monday a.m. Is hwy 36 ok to travel? Back to Brenham and on to Bryan. Is 105 open?

      1. Does anyone know the best way to get to A&M for me as I live in Bellville and have to work there at 8am

        1. Loop around the worst of the storm-affected area to the west/northwest. Gonna be a long drive, and I wouldn’t try it, but…

        3. Lisa

          We came from College Station today.
          Don’t go thru Navasota.
          We had to take 21 to all the way around to get to Columbus. 21 to 77 to 10

          Stay home – it is not getting better.

      2. I live in Bellville and need to go to Lowes tomorrow to buy a pump to get the standing water out of my stopped up drain.

        Does anyone know if Highway 36 between Bellville and Brenham is drive-able?

        I did a text chat with a representative of Lowes and was told they will be open tomorrow. I live right off the Bellville square close to 36 so I just need to figure out if I can get down 36 to Lowes.
