[i]JSC experienced significant flooding during the heaviest rains, but the main campus buildings did not flood. A few buildings experienced some roof leaks, resulting in water in some offices. Additionally, the Sonny Carter Training Facility was hit especially hard with rising water. We have evaluated the habitability of all our facilities and cleanup is progressing quickly. All facilities are expected to be ready for use next week, although some significant workarounds may be required. Flight control for the International Space Station will continue in our Mission Control Center as Expedition 52 crew members Peggy Whitson, Jack Fischer and Fyodor Yurchikhin return to Earth this Saturday in Kazakhstan and Peggy and Jack back to Houston Sunday. The James Webb Space Telescope mission essential personnel at JSC remained safethroughout the storm and the telescope and test chamber are in good shape. Testing continued throughout the storm and we will continue to monitor the JWST's status. A water leak caused damage in the open high-bay area of building 32. While all backup facility systems required to maintain services were checked out before the storm and readied for use, they were not needed.[/i]
