Keough said they are expecting additional rainfall Wednesday night and that many roads are closed due to high water.

“The sheer number of roads with high water or closed is too vast to continue to list individually,” he said. “Please do not drive in high water. The county’s first responders have been assisting motorists all day who have ignored barricades and water over the roads and proceeded to drive through the water.”

Keough said the Lake Conroe dam is currently releasing 16,525 CFS of water.
