     And things are about to notch upwards.  Water has begun to spill over the 
Addicks Dam:

     This will result in uncontrolled releases into the Buffalo Bayou, which 
goes right through the centre of Houston.  This is an earthen structure 
paralleling the Katy Freeway on the northwest side of town.  Water spilling 
over the top could scour the downstream side and weaken it, causing it to 
breech.
