I just saw this on Facebook about Reeve's Furniture, right there by the San Jac River.  I knew they would have a lot of damage but there's a video where you can see more. It's so sad. https://www.gofundme.com/debbiecrapseI know some of you will say they deserve it because they're so close to the river but they would not have taken on nearly so much water if it wasn't for Conroe releasing the dam like they did.Â
@BJByrd:
Sad about Reeves! Conroe was only part of the problem, Woodlands & Spring Creek area also had extraordinary amounts of rainfall and none of that was controlled by the dam.
If the River Authority had not released at the dam, we would have had major problems down here, so it's best to release to prevent the dam from breaking. That is an earthen dam, hell, even concrete dams have been known to break. It would have been like a tidal wave with all of Lake Conroe coming all at once, coupled with the flooding from Spring Creek and from Woodlands.
