The effect of Hurricane Harvey has been felt throughout Montgomery County over several days. County officials said there are about 1,200 residents currently in Montgomery County shelters, and two storm-related deaths have been confirmed. The county received about 36 inches of rain from Hurricane Harvey since Friday, leading to flooding in flood-prone areas, Montgomery County Sheriff Rand Henderson said. "Most of [the flooding] is in the same locations, but a broader location, as the storms of May and April in 2016," Henderson said. "So those that live along the waterfronts, the Spring Creek corridors, Timber Lakes and Timber Ridge have been hit really hard once again, Grogans Point, and of course peach creek being out of its banks. ... A lot of work left to be done. A lot of lives affected by this tragedy." The storm caused the deaths of two Montgomery County residents—Lisa Jones, 60, who died Monday in Porter after a tree fell on her while sleeping in her bedroom, as well as Conroe resident Joshua Aedan Feuerstein, 33, who died Monday night on Fish Creek Thoroughfare after driving around a high-water barricade. Henderson said a possible third death of a man seen in the water near Spring Trails and the Grand Parkway that has not been confirmed. Overall, the Sheriff's office was involved in 60 rescue operations, amounting to about 1,300 people moved out of harms way, Henderson said. Even as rain continues to subside, about 10,000 county residents are waiting for power to be restored, said Darren Hess, Montgomery County Emergency Management director. Montgomery County Judge Craig Doyal said the storm should move past Montgomery County by 1 p.m. Wednesday, and the county is now transitioning from a rescue phase of its operation to a recovery phase. "We have actually had reports of people seeing some sunshine," Doyal said. "We have turned the corner. All of our creeks have crested and are starting to drop now." To help the county petition for a federal disaster declaration, Hess said the county is asking residents to visit the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management website to report damages to their homes and businesses. Once a federal disaster is declared, residents will be able to log claims with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "If you stay tuned to our website you will be able to find information to register with us so we know who you are, where you are at and what type of damages you received," Hess said. "We need that vital information as we make our claims to FEMA to show them the catastrophic effects to you, the citizens of Montgomery County." Officials also said water levels and water release rates at Lake Conroe continue to decline, but the lake will remain closed to the general public for safety reasons. The San Jacinto River Authority will make a formal announcement when the lake opens to the public once again. "The current level is 203.7 feet, which is about 2.7 feet over its normal pool elevation," SJRA General Manager Jace Houston said. "Most docks and bulkheads are still not visible ... so, for now, the lake will remain closed to any sort of public access." Click HERE to view the full conference.
