Rain-Swollen Brazos River Floods Suburban Houston
Heavy rains that began falling during Memorial Day weekend in late May 2016 pushed
the Brazos River, 30 miles southwest of Houston, Texas, toward a near-record flood-
ing stage that hasn’t been seen since 1913, according to the National Weather Service
(NWS).
Shortwave infrared and red bands on Landsat 8’s Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensor
reveal the river’s dramatic flooding extent on May 28, compared to two months earlier, on
March 25, when the Brazos ran much more sedately past the nation’s fourth most-pop-
ulous city. Just two years earlier, in 2014, the 840-mile-long river snaking through the
center of Texas had gone dry in places because of drought conditions, the NWS said.
As of June 1, more than 120 high-water boat rescues from buildings and cars had
been reported near Houston by Fort Bend County first responders. The International Char-
ter “Space and Major Disasters,” of which USGS and EROS are members, was activated
May 31 to provide Texas Emergency Management rapid access to Landsat and other
satellite data for assessing the extent of damage and helping with disaster response.
With the rain expected to continue, future Landsat acquisitions will be important for
that response. After almost 20 inches had fallen over parts of Texas since late May, NWS
forecasters predicted up to 10 additional inches of precipitation by June 3, which would
exacerbate flooding conditions along the flat, low-lying landscape of suburban Houston.
