We have family that lives in Richmond, about 30 miles WSW from downtown Houston.
They are not in a flood prone area, but said water got up to within about a foot below the house.
Good news, it drained off pretty quickly before each wave of rain.
They lost power yesterday afternoon, but have propane to cook with and they stocked up on food and water, so they should be okay.
They said the worst part for them was not the rain, but the wave after wave of tornadoes that came thru.
They have two small children and were told by authorities to stay in place. Once they realized how bad it was going to get, it was too late to leave because all the roads were underwater.
It's very frustrating not to be able to get to them to help or get them out. I feel like I have to do something, but know there is nothing I can do for a few days.
