I think most of us just put the same numbers down. Its not like they are gonna send a guy out to measure the water depth, and send a truck out based on that number.
man, if there is 3-4ft of water on CS, fording it to drive around won't be the only concern.

weight also plays a role in water. especially if its fast moving water. you may be tall enough to go through it but if you dont weigh enough grab a cold one and float down the university river! also big tires will pick you up also. Im sure yall know this but just through it out anyway.

If university does flood..we're definitely going tubing.
I think thats the general consensus. I didn't feel the need to run and measure to the nearest tenth.Originally Posted by TexTJ209
As for tubbing, I think Texas might be a better path. Start at walmart and take your time over smooth waters till it crosses University and heads down hill into rapids

Eh, we'll try both! Wellborn too if we've got the time.
tube to the chicken
well my tubbing plan will be to start at the hill on holleman and texas, float to the bottom and stop by jack in the box, or maybe even goerge bush where i will have other associates, handing me beverages.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
who has tubes
maybe i should drive the minivan down there....it can go through water between 6'-6.5' deep...below is a picture to prove it...

Flooding in town is unlikely - maybe a few low lying intersections or underpasses. Bayou's & creeks would overun, but only affect stuff nearby. My buest guess on where help would be needed is in the country or on the outskirts, folks that only have 1 road in and out.
(as much fun as tubing to the chicken would be )
