It's quite impressive from the satellite, and it doesn't look like it's going to go away anytime soon.
It wouldn't surprise me to hear that some areas receive over 20 inches of rain before this is done.
Well, now, the latest Ch 13 met, "Tim" (I don't watch most of these Ch 13 mets, so don't know who all they are), said we need to watch what has happened by 10 PM.
He said that if the center of the low has moved down to about Sugar Land by then, we're out of the woods and won't be getting much more. BUT, if it hasn't made it down there by 10PM, then it's sitting on us and will have dropped quite a bit more rain.
I see another headed my way right now; we'll see. It seemed like a ton of rain fell during the night and morning, but my streets are fine and we're only showing to have gotten <1.5" when others got a lot more.
