Clark said crews helped rescue a man from an SUV in the water that hydroplaned, lost control, and crashed off the road.



The rain has been almost nonstop since Tuesday night, leading to multiple high-water spots being reported across the Houston area.

"It's hard to see the road, especially when there are ditches on either side," Steve Gekas said.
