Please leave any data sources we might use down below. Right now we have: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1bKm78yhnQE28_QKbI10Z5j0qtM8 http://dmwilson.info/Home/Search - Need to find a way to export from that site

I've seen "High Water" reported in these (undocumented but public) feeds from TranStar (TxDOT): http://traffic.houstontranstar.org/data/layers/incidents_json.js http://traffic.houstontranstar.org/data/layers/roadclosures_json.js
