Additional rainfall will lead to more flooding concerns, even in the city of Houston through Sunday evening.
HOUSTON — After a relatively quiet day weather on Saturday, showers and storms picked back up Sunday. Areas like Kingwood, Channelview, Humble, Atascocita and other communities along swollen rivers remain under water. With more rain coming, conditions aren't expected to improve.
More than two dozen people were rescued from their flooded homes in Plum Grove on Friday. Plum Grove is about 20 minutes south of Cleveland.The San Jacinto River Authority said more than 20 inches of rain fell north of Lake Conroe over the last week.SJRA said they have to release water from the lake to get it back to a safe level of 201 feet and preserve the safety and integrity of the dam.
"On the San Jacinto River East Fork, it’s too late to evacuate preemptively & folks are being assisted off their rooftops," Hidalgo posted on X."If you are on the West Fork or south of Lake Houston you still have an opportunity to leave. Otherwise, prepare to stay in place for 2-3 days." Officials said the river will likely crest this weekend. That is why mandatory evacuations have been issued.
