https://www.harriscountyfws.org/  is awesome

add watershed & channels under "options"

to see more than just Harris County select "ALL" under "gauges by agency"

can change time period, etc... often in fast downpours, a shorter time-frame gives a more accurate total, due to the time-period they have it set to automatically update the 24-hr totals

there are a few gauges down by Sugar Land that seem to be perpetually screwed up... one says it is 570 ft over top of banks...

due to never-ending Hwy 290 construction, they removed the gauge for Cypress by Hwy 290 - hope it goes up again when they are done & it's more accurate than in the past - it often under-reported totals

the posts I referenced from "Jeff Lindner" on this board - Jeff is a meteorologist with Harris County Flood Control District - this map is their baby... they have a better version for their use, I am sure ;)
