TS Allison visited Houston in 2001, left and then returned. Caught under a high pressure system she dumped 40 inches of rain on the city. The 610 loop around the city acted as a giant bowl. When the water finally drained on the interstate, they found 18 wheelers two deep that had been totally buried under water. Called the 100 year flood. Didn’t think it would ever quit raining. Some memories just never go away.

Sure could use some of that water now....talk about "feast or famine."

I had moved from Houston by 2001, but I was there for TS Allison in 1989 (30” rain, flooded the TX Medical Center, metro buses under water, etc.). I know what you mean about indelible memories!
