Relentless rounds of heavy rain have battered parts of Texas and Louisiana this spring, and another round is coming Thursday to many of the hard-hit areas. Following weeks of constant storm systems, rivers like the Trinity River near Liberty, Texas, are still in major flood stage. And just two weeks into May, some areas have picked up more than 500% of their monthly average rainfall.
Communities located within the high risk area include Huntsville, Lufkin, Nacogdoches and Jasper, all in Texas, and Fort Johnson in Louisiana. High risk means there is a 70% chance of rainfall amounts exceeding flash flooding guidance within 25 miles of a point within that risk area.
