I love that kind of stuff too. The Harris County Flood Warning System website is great. https://www.harriscountyfws.org/ You can see rainfall totals from the last few hours/days. I also like to look at channel status and water level over time.
High Schools in Katy - Richmond - Fulshear that didn't exist 25 years ago Foster Fulshear George Ranch Morton Ranch Cinco Ranch Tompkins Seven Lakes Jordan Paetow It takes quite a few students to need that many high schools. It takes quite a few homes for that many students to live in.
Always. We moved into a new (to us) house last year and made sure it was one of the most elevated lots in the neighborhood. There's a website where you can check. Too many new neighborhoods and strip centers along Northpark. Water has no place to go.
I've used this site many times to avoid flooded areas to and from work in the past. Check stream gauges to see where bayous are out of their banks on really bad days. Odds are that roads between flooded stream gauges are also flooded.
Now that I've checked it out, that's pretty much the same as what the LCRA does up here. I look at this often, for various reasons: https://hydromet.lcra.org/
Literally in the calm after the storm -- no joke that system was bizarrely intense I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it spawned a tornado. I can't recall lightening so close, bright and loud -- power on and off - rain/ hail like a waterfall. That was honestly creepy.
Had some heavy rain yesterday after work and some crazy clouds but I did not know weather was crazy like that in Austin.
Yeppers, that was fun. Lightning strike within a mile, some other transformer in town exploding, rain blowing sideways, dogs and cats, etc...
I'm a bit southwest of Austin I have tendency to forget that I no longer actually live in the city, but more in the hill country -- I think it fizzled quite a bit before hitting downtown.
