Immediate Report # 1
April 17-18, 2016 Storm and Flood Information
This is the first report summarizing the historic flooding from rainfall that occurred
across Harris County late on the evening of the 17th into the 18th.
GENERAL FLOODING STATEMENT
A slow moving and powerful upper level storm system over the southwest US combined
with near record moisture levels for mid-April producing a devastating flood event over
the northern and western portions of Harris County from the evening hours of April 17th
into the day of April 18th. Rainfall began during the early evening hours in southeast to
northwest bands across extreme southwest and western Harris County westward into
Fort Bend and Waller Counties. Between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. thunderstorms began
to greatly intensify and slow their northward movement over Waller County and by late
evening had stalled and began to shift eastward into western Harris County. Excessive
rainfall spread across northwest Harris County during the late evening hours of the 17th
into the early morning hours of the 18th. Significant cell training and slow movement of
the thunderstorms resulted in a large portion of northwest Harris County receiving
between 10-15 inches of rainfall during the morning hours of the 18th. Torrential rainfall
slowly shifted into central and southwestern Harris County between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00
a.m.
A Flash Flood Emergency was issued at 1:45 a.m. for northwest Harris County and was
later expanded to include portions of western and north-central Harris County.
The flooding resulted in 6 fatalities in Harris County with an additional 1 in Waller
County and 1 in Austin County all of which were vehicle related.
APRIL17-18 RAINFALL
Duration The heaviest rainfall occurred in northwest Harris County along and
northwest of a line from The Woodlands to Jersey Village to Katy. The majority of the
rainfall occurred in a 12-hr period and averaged 12.0-16.0 inches from Tomball to
Addicks westward to Waller County. Short duration rainfall rates from less than 1-hr to
3-hr were extreme over this area including a 2-hr total of 7.3 inches in Addicks. Rainfall
averaged 10.0-12.0 inches over the headwaters and upper portions of Greens and
1
White Oak Bayous for the 6-hr and 12-hr time period. Rainfall over upper Brays Bayou
averaged 7.5-9.5 inches in 12-hr and 6.0-6.5 inches in 2-hr. Along middle and upper
Buffalo Bayou west of the 610 Loop rainfall averaged 6.5-7.0 inches in 6-hr and 7.0-7.5
inches in 12-hr.
The largest rainfall amounts measured in Harris County for various durations are shown
below.

Total Amounts Total rainfall amounts averaged 12.0-16.0 inches over northwest
Harris County from Katy to Addicks to Waller and over 10.0 inches west of a line from
Spring to Greenspoint to Stafford. Rainfall totals east of US 59 averaged generally less
than 4.0-6.0 inches.
An average of 7.75 inches of rainfall occurred across Harris County equating to over
240 billion gallons of water compared to an average of 5.3 inches and 162 billion
gallons of water from the Memorial Day flood of 2015. 80 billion gallons more water fell
across Harris County with the April 2016 event compared to Memorial Day 2015.
Additional rainfall data was obtained from residents in Waller County both within and
outside the upper Cypress Creek watershed who collect rainfall with personal weather
stations. The following totals were reported.
Monaville: 19.30 inches in 10 hours
Waller: 20.0 inches (duration unknown; upper Cypress Creek)
Waller: 18.76 inches (duration unknown; upper Cypress Creek)
Pattison: 21.93 inches in 24 hours
Pattison: 23.50 inches in 14.5 hours
Exceedance Probability Rainfall for 12-hr time period
Cypress Creek: above the 0.2% (500-yr) in the headwaters; at or above 1% (100-yr)
entire channel
Little Cypress Creek: above the 1% (100-yr) along entire channel
Langham Creek: above the 0.2% (500-yr) along the entire channel
Horsepen Creek: above the 0.2% (500-yr) along the entire channel
Bear Creek: above the 1% (100-yr) along the entire channel
South Mayde Creek: above the 1% (100-yr) along the entire channel
Mason Creek: above the 1% (100-yr) along the entire channel
Cane Island: above the 1% (100-yr) along the entire channel
Spring Creek: between the 2% (50-yr) and 1% (100-yr) along the entire channel

For comparison, the maximum rainfall recorded during Tropical Storm Allison was 28.5
inches in 12-hr on Greens Bayou and the maximum rainfall recorded during the April
17-18 storm event was 16.70 inches or 60% of the TS Allison maximum recorded
rainfall. Another way to examine the rainfall is to compare against the Probable
Maximum Precipitation (PMP), or the theoretical maximum amount of rainfall that can
fall in a specified time period, for this region. The PMP for this region for 12-hr: 38.7
inches and 24-hr: 47.1 inches. The 16.70 inches recorded in 12-hr for this event was
43% of the 12-hr PMP. The 23.50 inches in just over 12-hr in Waller County is 61% of
the 12-hr PMP whereas the maximum 12-hr during TS Allison was 74% of the PMP.

ADDICKS RESERVOIR
Addicks Reservoir reached a peak pool elevation of 102.63 ft at 11:45 a.m. on April 23,
2016 impounding 122,900 acre-ft of water. The previous record pool elevation of 97.46
ft was surpassed by 5.17 ft. At its peak pool elevation, Addicks Reservoir occupied 93%
of its government owned land and 60% of its total reservoir capacity. HWY 6 went under
water on April 18th around 11:45 a.m. and remains under several feet of water at this
time. Addicks surpassed its previous historical pool level of 97.46 ft from March 1992 at
5:30 p.m. on April 18th and surpassed the 100-yr pool level of 101.16 ft by 1.47 ft. The
historical pool levels in Addicks Reservoir resulted in the flooding of streets in one
subdivision adjacent to the reservoir lands as well as the complete closure of HWY 6,
Eldridge Pkwy, and Clay Rd.
BARKER RESERVOIR
Barker Reservoir reached a peak pool elevation of 95.26 ft at 11:15 a.m. on April 23,
2016 impounding 86,080 acre-ft of water. The previous record pool elevation of 93.60 ft
was surpassed by 1.66 ft. At its peak Barker Reservoir occupied 102.5% of its
government owned land and 40.5% of its total storage capacity. Westhiemer Pkwy went
under water around 8:00 p.m. on April 19 and remains under water at this time. Barker
Reservoir surpassed its historical pool level of 93.60 ft at 4:15 a.m. on April 20th and
peaked just under its 100-yr pool elevation of 95.50 ft by .30 of a foot. Water levels were
close to the top of some storm sewer inlets in a few adjacent subdivisions, but there
were no flooded streets.
The HCFCD Flood Watch team was activated from 10:45 p.m. April 17th and
continues in flood operation at this time.
Clear Creek Second Outlet Gates were opened on April 17th at 11:30 p.m. and
closed on April 20th at 4:30 p.m.
HCFCD conducted approximately 70 media interviews.
HCFCD phone bank has received about 900 calls so far and recorded 628 house
flooding or post-flood response reports.
107 rainfall alarms (1 inch rainfall in 15-min) and 99 water level alarms (3 ft below
bankfull) were reported from April 17-April 20. 75% of the HCFCD FWS gages
