9" in 4 hours at my house in Spring this morning. Almost launched the kayak in the street if not for the torrential rain and lightning. Lived here 5 years and never seen it flood the streets like that.



We only got 6" at our house in Spring. Cypress Creek runs behind our house. The sensor at Kuykendahl and Cypress Creek measured less than 3" and I just don't see how that's possible. That sensor always seems to measure much, much lower than anything we see a little further east.

This Harris County projected inundation map has everyone alarmed. Maybe rightfully so. It shows countless Kingwood subdivisions in line for inundation. I don't know the technical definition of that word when it comes to neighborhood flooding.

To be honest, the enormity of the projected inundation is hard to believe. But what do I know. It looks way worse that Harvey.

Did you just move here last summer during the drought?

We all remember the flooding event based on day the happened and year.

All of this is north of I-10 this time around so probably better for the area overall.

Exactly. There's a reason we celebrate the tax day floods, Memorial Day floods, Halloween day floods, etc. big days of rain are pretty normal around here.

No joke. My oldest kid was born during the 2015 memorial day floods. Had to map out the high path to the hospital at 3 in the morning.

By no means do I want people to get flooded but we need all the rain we can get in April and May to get us through the summer if it winds up being another dry one.
