Hope all is well or at least manageable with all of the members in Southern Texas.

My area received around 15 inches of rain.  No real issues. Some Areas north and northeast of Houston received over 40 inches of rain.

Just 20 miles south of Houston we had plenty rain, but in our close neighborhood not much flooding. Others were not so fortunate. East of Houston over to Beaumont was pretty bad.
The I10 bridge over the San Jacinto Bridge in East Houston was struck by barges that broke loose. The bridge was damaged and I10 is closed. Last time that happened was in 1994, when a flood broke a gasoline pipeline and the river caught on fire ! Damaged the bridge quite a bit.

Dang you guys can't seem to catch a break! Didn't you folks get heavy rain/flooding like two years ago due to a storm?

Heavy rain, but here at home, not much flooding. Some drainage modifications after Harvey have improved runoff in Brazoria County.
