Yesterday I came rushing home from work (I work at Nordstrom in The Woodlands) because a friend texted me about the potential flooding in Forest Cove. I live on the left side of Hamblen road when coming from 59, and I am wondering what parts of Forest Cove are actually at risk for flooding? I called into work today fearing I wouldn't be able to get back home tonight but the roads still aren't flooded, do y'all think I can get to work tomorrow? 4951
Big question is are you above the hill or below? Above - no worries, below - keep an eye out. That being said... the river is expected to crest in the next 24  hours so if you live north of Hamblen you probably don't need to worry. 4951
The empty lot at Cypress Lane and Forest Cove Dr was a house.  The water was up to the roof.  Everything above that was safe.  I believe the homes on Red Bud north of Hamblen were ok too.  I think the old Forest Cove Baptist Church - which is now Northeast Christian Academy - was either flooded or the roads made it impossible to get to. 4951
You mean by the furniture store? This is nothing compared with the 1994 flood, so I really don't know. It may depend how far down Savell past Sorters-McLellan you live. 4951
