[Ed in Houston 283]

Catastrophic flooding with 20-30 inches of rain in the last 24 hours from northeast Houston over to Beaumont. Still raining hard in those areas.

 

Imelda Triggers Catastrophic Flooding in Texas; Over 30 Inches of Rain Flood Roads, Prompt Evacuations

 

" Some spots have totaled 30 to 35 inches of rain over the past two days during Imelda, according to the Jefferson County Drainage District. "

 

I have only had 8 inches in the last 48 hours in S.E. Houston so no problem in my area.

 

Ed in Houston where when it rains it pours.

@Ed in Houston Sorry to hear about this!  Hard to imagine it raining enough to almost submerge a yardstick!

It came within a few inches of my front door. I had to go out in the rain and dig a trench from my front porch to the drain by the street. Seems to have helped. Sucks that I had to destroy my yard though.
