:scared:

Some small towns are in the path though.

I can't remember how close to Houston the San Jacinto runs. Fairly close if it empties into the Galveston Bay near the San Jacinto monument.

But that is a direct shot to the bay, way to the east of Houston. I have a friend with a fish camp on the Trinity a few miles north of I-10. It can be reached only by boat.

Located just 80 miles north of Houston and 175 miles south east of Dallas, it makes a great place for a weekend trip or year round vacation home.

Lake Livingston is the 2nd largest lake located within the borders of Texas. It is 39 miles long and at it's widest point it is 7 miles. With 450 miles of shoreline, Lake Livingston is never crowded. It covers 93,000 acres and has been dubbed a "Water Wonderland". There are many beautiful homes, and campgrounds surrounding the shore's.
Within the Lake Livingston area, there are 4 different counties including, Polk, Walker, San Jacinto, Trinity.

>The lake is kept at a constant level by the Trinity River Authority. The lake has an average depth of 23 feet. Near the dam is the deepest point of the lake at 90 feet.<

Emergency evacuation ordered along the Trinity River from Livingston to Galveston Bay. The dam at Lake Livingston requires an emergency release after it was comprimised by Hurricane Rita. Residents in the flood plains along the river should evacuate.
