Hurricane Harvey level flooding, no Hurricane necessary.
Heavy showers and thunderstorms continued to pour rain into East Texas Friday, adding more water to swollen rivers that have prompted mandatory evacuations as water levels rise in some towns to levels rivaling Hurricane Harvey’s devastating floods of 2017.
Officials are closely watching lakes and streams where additional rainfall on Sunday could fall at 1″ to 3″ per hour and soak many of the communities still waterlogged by the workweek event.
NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center has placed much of the north Houston metro under a Level 3 out of 4 threat for additional flooding.
