The last time we had several days of rain was at the beginning of June.
This week, we’re going to have rain on and off throughout the day on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, we’ll see strong and fast-moving thunderstorms.
It will also be windy Thursday. If you’ve already put up some Halloween or fall decorations, you should make sure to secure them, so they aren’t blown away.
If you have any photos and videos of the rain, please share them with us on Click2Pins here.
Since we’ll be having several days of rain, KRPC 2′s Meteorologist Caroline Brown also said people should give themselves some extra time to get to work. You don’t want to be in a rush and arrive at an area with high water.
There is a flood threat for the Houston area.
Here is some additional information from the National Weather Service to help you stay safe in case of flooding.
- Don’t drive around the barriers that are blocking a flooded road.
- When you see a flooded area, it can be hard to see how deep it is. Always remember -- turn around don’t drown.
- Six inches of fast-moving flood water can sweep an adult off their feet.
- 12 inches of flood water can move cars.
- Two feet of water can carry away SUVs and trucks.
