In Houston, a forecast that says “two to four inches” can mean a dry street or a flooded underpass depending on which side of the bayou you live on. These are the sources we use when it rains hard.
- Harris County Flood Warning System shows real-time rainfall and bayou levels by gauge.
- NWS Houston/Galveston posts flood watches, tropical updates and severe weather warnings.
- ReadyHarris has evacuation zones and emergency alerts sign-up.
- National Hurricane Center from June 1 through November 30.
Don’t drive into water on a freeway feeder. Turn around.
