Simulated Flooding of Houston Bayous

I’ve been modeling how flooding might spread through different parts of Houston, and create micro-flood zones beyond FEMA’s static maps.

These screenshots show how several bayous (White Oak, Buffalo, Brays, etc.) would look under simulated flooding. The colors show where water could accumulate if multiple bayous overflow at once.

It’s a work in progress, but the model runs surprisingly close to historic flood footprints.

Figured some of you might find it interesting too, especially if you live near a bayou (so, basically all of us in Houston lol).
