The Barker Reservoir flood began
in early November after a week of rain. The reservoir is a damn built
by the CCC to control the Buffalo Bayou which flows from Katy to downtown
Houston. It generally follows I-10 (on the south side). The reservoir
area is a park and has soccer, baseball, shooting range, and model airplane
facilities. All under water. After no rain for a couple days the water
began to recede until it began raining again for another week. The water
rose to the levels you see in the pictures. The park is about five miles
long and a couple miles wide. All under 3 to 20 feet of water. As of
December 11, the reservoir had not drained completely.
