Storms caused flooding across the Houston area
The storm that brought heavy rain to southeast Texas the last three days is moving out of the area, but not for long.
Heavy rain already produced rainfall totals of 2"-6" Wednesday morning.
This 48-hour radar animation shows all of the storms that have hit us in the past 2 days.
Showers will be more scattered rather than widespread on Thursday. Although fewer showers will be showing up on radar, the rain will likely be heavy wherever the rain develops. There's a better chance of getting wet on Friday and Saturday when the storm that brought us the heavy rain backs up and returns to southeast Texas.
Flood Warnings are still in effect for the West Fork San Jacinto River in Humble and the San Bernard River at Sweeny, East Bernard and Boling.
Residents of Lake pointe Drive are keeping an eye on the rising San Jacinto River. They expect the water level to rise at least one more foot. If that happens, some homes will get water inside them. One resident we spoke with said this happens fairly often and that most people along the road have a plan to get their things to higher ground.
"We pretty much keep a box truck on hand. If we need it, we can load it up and get out of here," resident Brian Harmon said.
We're closely watching water levels in our creeks and bayous and you can, too. Here's a link to the Harris County Flood Control District.
Wednesday morning's weather is the latest in a string of severe weather systems to move through southeast Texas. On Tuesday, we saw several high water areas, including along Highway 290, where rain gauge totals show the area got as much as 6 inches of rain. More than six people's vehicles stalled out at the Ranch Country subdivision.
"They call people to come help them but they were out there in the water, stuck in the water," a Cypress resident named John told Eyewitness News.
