SPRING, TX (KTRK) -- Residents in Spring are bracing for a heavy downpour this afternoon.
Terry McCrary with Comanche Contractors is sending his crew home for the day. They'll lose a day's work because of the afternoon storms.
"We are building an Academy here in Spring. We only have 130 days to complete this project. We don't get rain days. When it rains like this we have to stop. Sometimes you can lose two days of work. Sometimes you can lose a week if you get a major event," says McCrary.
Other people who live nearby are getting their shopping done early so they can get home before the storms hit.
Avoid the roads if possible. If you have to drive, use caution and take your time. Plan ahead if you have an appointment you can't miss.
