Pearson mentions that she and the ABC13 crew have watched the water rise from the moment they arrived on the scene.
Several days of rainfall have caused an overflow of the city's creeks and rivers, including the San Jacinto River, which is predicted to rise at least three more feet before it begins cresting on Sunday.
While Saturday remains clear, ABC13's Weather Team declared an ABC13 Weather Alert on Sunday, as rain is expected to dump in the area, causing the river to rise to higher levels than normal.

The rain has taken not just homes but businesses nearby. A homeowner spoke to ABC13, who said her property is dry, but others are inaccessible.
She says it was like reliving Hurricane Harvey all over again.
ABC13 spoke with the Office of Emergency Management, who said there were not many rescues overnight, but that could change as the day goes on.
