Heavy Rain/ High Tides Produce Flooding in Houston/ Galveston Area

Heavy rain and high tides have produced flooding in the Houston/ Galveston area overnight. I will be out documenting the flooding today. For current pics and videos, go to my Twitter page. Handle: @Hal_Needham.

Yesterday, prolonged onshore winds drove waves into the Galveston Seawall. The pic below is from near the western end of the Seawall. Although storm surge levels should remain under 3 ft in this event, the combination of storm surge and heavy rains will inundate low-lying roads, particularly near the coast.

I will do a final post on Monday morning about the flooding in Texas and Louisiana.
