North Texas drivers had to deal with high water leading to stalled cars.

Torrential rains made for a waterlogged commute on North Central Expressway on Thursday afternoon.Gayle Carr’s Toyota Camry stalled on the frontage road in front of the U.S. Post Office near E. Bois D’ Arc Road in McKinney at about 11:45 a.m.“I didn’t think it was going to be this bad in McKinney,” said Carr after managing to get her car off the road safely.

“The past few days have been horrific, horrendous,” said Shanon Revels, marketing manager for Meals on Wheels of Collin County. “We alerted our clients this is the time to open your emergency box to use your food until we are open to deliveries again,” said Revels. “Out of the blue it just started raining,” said Garcia. “In my head, I understand it’s for my safety, but we do this for a reason. We do it for them. I’m not comfortable going home knowing I left some seniors without food.”
