Severe storm causes street flooding and catches some Houston drivers off-guard

More heavy rain led to high water on Houston-area roads.
HOUSTON — Another round of storms dumped more heavy rain on Southeast Texas Tuesday and Houston TranStar reports a few high water spots.
Most of the street flooding cleared in time for the evening rush hour but there were still a few problem areas.
Here in Houston, it doesn’t take a lot of standing water to damage your car.
You can lose control or stall in less than six inches of water. In just a foot of water, your car can start to float. In only two feet of water, your car can easily be carried away while you’re still in it.
If you come across any high-water spots, remember the saying: “Turn around, don’t drown.” If floodwaters do rise around your car, abandon the vehicle and move to higher ground.
Below is a list of high-water spots, as reported by Houston TranStar. These are not all of the water-covered roads. Please check with your local officials for high water spots before getting on the road.
Houston, Harris County
Montgomery County high water
