" 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 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.
