Actually our news was saying we had 8 inches of rain! It took my husband about 3 1/2 hours to get home (normally about 1 hour) because I-10 and the beltway were underwater. There were also kids still at schools at 10:00 last night because either they buses couldn't get out or the parents couldn't get to them.
However, I continue to be amazed at stupid drivers who are warned about deep water, the measurement device will be reading 3-4 ft, and they drive into it anyway! On the news, there was a school bus full of high school students (2 of the pregnant) stuck in deep water. The kids were sitting on top of the bus. They finally waded out in waist to chest deep water.
Ahh....the North gets blizzards, we get rain!
