Voluntary evacuation issued by Harris County Judge for residents near the East Fork of the San Jacinto River.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo has issued a voluntary evacuation for subdivisions of Idlewide, Idleglen, and homes along the river in the Commons of Lake Houston. Hidalgo said the areas will be impacted by significant and rapid overnight flooding caused by storms earlier this week.
If you can’t, prepare to stay where you are for the next 24-36 hours and do not try to drive through high water," Hidalgo said. Officials said in addition to the areas under call for voluntary evacuation, residents who live in low-lying subdivisions along the river – in particular, Northwood Country Estates, River Terrace, Cypress Point, Kingwood Area or the Commons of Lake Houston – should stay in place until the water recedes, which is expected to take 24-36 hours.
