I'm north of Houston. My house got hammered for many hours last night - rain gauge outside said 8 inches but I'd probably go with 5-6 realistically and probably another inch or two since I went to work. Typical flooded areas on the way to work so had to take the long way around.
Usually rains like this once every 4-5 years and makes me remember to fix the drainage on the property. Fortunately the house and shop haven't flooded but the water did get up on the patio about an inch or so. Need to rip out a few feet of lawn in front of the house and make better drainage and a flower bed out of it. The grass area just keeps gaining in height. |

Im just west of Cypress, and we got hammered with rain. Luckily no water in the house, but it was 2" from coming in the front door. We are on a septic system, which is full of rain water now so we can't use the bathroom, do dishes, shower, etc until the water goes down. I had fish swimming in my back yard this morning.

Your neighborhood isn't all of Houston. I'm sorry you were impacted, but today wasn't a worse storm for the area. This picture is the Memorial Day Flood in Houston. The bayous crested higher then than they crested today. We got more rain than we got today. The same system (Memorial Day) caused catastrophic flooding in areas like Austin and New Braunfels. Your position that today's storm Impacted a larger area is ludicrous. To compare it to Allison doesn't even warrant discussion.

So for Houston, the rainfall totals from today are wider spread than Memorial Day. Nobody is saying Memorial Day wasn't a huge event elsewhere. |

Allison was huge. We got over twenty inches here in S Central La. Roads were under five feet of water that I've never seen flood. I had to get to work (hospital) and I had to detour around all the mess. What normally took thirty minutes took two hours. And we got off easy compared to Houston. Most rain I've ever experienced.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Clear Lake City is part of Houston and the tides are very high. Galveston Bay is in my back yard and the water came up over the wall and left debris. So some small areas could have flooded do to the coastal high tides and high tides can affect drainage from more inland areas. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Guess she didn't see all the street flooding and road closures or the underpasses 12' under. This is the canal in my neighborhood near 146/Nasa 1. The water is usually 6' below the pier/bench area in the foreground. I was getting water spray on my windshield from the lake driving down Nasa 1 yesterday. Water was very high and wind made it look like the bay. I have seen worse but I'm glad my particular street is not a flood zone, in contrast to most of the crap around me. Flood insurance is worth every penny for the $450 I pay.

Lots of flooding all around, but since I live close to work I went in as always. Of my particular division, only two other people made in (out of 17).
I need to live farther away from work.  ETA drove in from San Antonio last night, and the last hour of that (from Columbus on in) was no fun either. Got down to 35 mph on I-10 in some places. |
