Good morning,
The Village of Jones Creek received approximately 20 + inches of rain since Monday from Tropical Storm Imelda.

We did have a few homes where water was close but have not had any reports of water inside of living areas.

With the continuation of rainfall runoff we will continue to monitor Jones Creek and the Brazos River.The levels at both are remaining the same overnight. We do not feel that we will see flooding like what we had from Hurricane Harvey. It is anticipated that the Brazos will stay within its banks and Jones Creek will continue to flow and not have major impacts to our lower lying areas.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to text Marshal Tidwell
at 979-292-6393. Please have a safe and blessed day.
