Hammered by heavy rain and huge hail Thursday night, Houston braces for more downpours
Another big rain event in and around Houston unfolded Thursday night. By Ian Livingston Ian Livingston Email Bio Follow May 10 at 2:25 PM Clusters of violent and slow-moving thunderstorms converged on the Houston area Thursday night, unleashing torrential rain and enormous hail. The deluge wrought havoc on the city, spurring floods reminiscent of Hurricane Harvey in some areas.
Additional rainfall is not predicted to be as intense as Thursday night’s deluge, but the Weather Service urged residents to “stay put” if extreme rainfall returns: “Do not attempt to travel,” it warned. “Underpasses and low-water crossings will be life-threatening. If caught in a sinking vehicle, get OUT. Bayous will likely exceed banks and structure flooding could be possible.”
