LAKE HOUSTON COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
The quarterly Lake Houston Community Association Board meeting scheduled for Wednesday, July 10, 2024 (today) at 3:00 pm is cancelled due to the impact of Beryl on power within our community and the library.
A notice will be sent out when the meeting is rescheduled.
At the time of this posting, BERYL has crossed the Yucatán Península, and the cone of the probable path continues to shift to the Texas coast and/or to include the Houston/Galveston area. Beryl is anticipated to gain strength and return to hurricane status before making landfall on Monday. We are forecasted to be on the wet or ‘dirty’ side of this storm. This means we will be impacted with the heavy rains and the rains will continue next week. Sources to stay informed are the National Hurricane Center, the National Weather Service and the local TV channels & their websites.
Many of you have been through major rain events, tropical storms and even hurricanes while living here in The Enclave. Below is information and resources for you to review and assist you in preparing for this and future storms.
Please prepare taking into account that we may experience power outages, both short and long term.
Below are attached sources for additional information as well as preparation checklists.
STAY INFORMED, STAY SAFE.

ReadyHarris Urges Weather Awareness This Week
The Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HCOHSEM) is monitoring a series of fronts that will bring heavy rain to our area on beginning Sunday night and continuing through Wednesday.
The heaviest rain is expected to occur on Monday. Residents can expect 2-3 inches of rain with some areas receiving up to 5 inches. Our biggest threat will be potential high rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour that could lead to street flooding and rises in our network of creeks and bayous.
Tuesday rainfall is expected in the 1–3-inch range with Wednesday totals of 1-2 inches.
Hazards like high winds, hail, and tornadoes are not expected.
The City of Houston has announced that they will lower water level in Lake Houston by one foot in preparation for this rain event.
Residents should be weather aware and have multiple ways of receiving updated forecasts and warnings from the National Weather Service through the entire Monday through Wednesday period.
Motorists should expect rain during both morning and afternoon drive times. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways. Remember: Turn Around Don’t Drown! Check the Houston TranStar live traffic map for information on road conditions.

ReadyHarris insta a estar al tanto del clima esta semana
La Oficina de Seguridad Nacional y Manejo de Emergencias del Condado de Harris (HCOHSEM) está monitoreando una serie de frentes que traerán fuertes lluvias a nuestra área a partir del domingo por la noche y continuando hasta el miércoles.
Se espera que las lluvias más intensas ocurran el lunes. Los residentes pueden esperar entre 2 y 3 pulgadas de lluvia, con algunas áreas recibiendo hasta 5 pulgadas. Nuestra mayor preocupación será la posibilidad de tasas de lluvia elevadas de 1 a 2 pulgadas por hora, lo que podría provocar inundaciones en las calles y aumentos en nuestra red de arroyos y ríos.
Se espera que las lluvias del martes estén en el rango de 1 a 3 pulgadas, con totales de 1 a 2 pulgadas el miércoles. No se esperan peligros como vientos fuertes, granizo o tornados.
La Ciudad de Houston ha anunciado que reducirá el nivel del agua en el lago Houston en un pie en preparación para este evento de lluvia.
Los residentes deben estar atentos al clima y tener varias formas de recibir pronósticos actualizados y advertencias del Servicio Nacional de Meteorología durante todo el período desde el lunes hasta el miércoles.
Los conductores deben esperar lluvias tanto en las horas de la mañana como en las de la tarde. No conduzca su vehículo por carreteras inundadas. Recuerde: ¡Dé la vuelta, no se ahogue! Consulte el mapa de tráfico en vivo de Houston TranStar para obtener información sobre las condiciones de la carretera.

The season will officially begin on June 1, 2019 and will end on November 30, 2019. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention.
