Buffalo Bayou High Water 4-28-09

Torrential rain floods parts of Houston area

Tuesday, April 28, 2009
 

HOUSTON —  More than a half-foot of rain fell on the Houston area during the night, flooding numerous streets and highways and giving residents horrendous commuting conditions.

One rain gauge on Buffalo Bayou in far western Houston collected more than 6 inches of rain during the night and nearly 9 inches in 24 hours, the Harris County Office of Emergency Management said.

Some school districts in the metropolitan area canceled Tuesday's classes.

Sections of freeways and toll roads were closed, and Assistant Fire Chief Adrian Trevino said some motorists had to be rescued from deep water. No injuries were reported.

The rain followed severe thunderstorms that produced tornadoes Monday, causing damage in Corsicana and near Austin and Victoria.
