Dangerous Flooding with Ike aftermath rain

Good morning all -
While the remains of Ike are up in the midwest, a trail of storms extends all the way into southeast Texas...this line of storms is also preceding the approaching cold front. Heavy rain is pounding southeast Texas this am. Here is the latest Flash Flood Warning from the National Weather Service:

...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1130 AM CDT FOR... SOUTHEASTERN AUSTIN COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... BRAZORIA COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... CHAMBERS COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... FORT BEND COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... GALVESTON COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... HARRIS COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... JACKSON COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... LIBERTY COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... MATAGORDA COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... SOUTHEASTERN MONTGOMERY COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS... WHARTON COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS...*

The good news is that in a few hours, this rain will begin to move out as the cold front arrives. This will bring drier and much more pleasant weather (before the sun comes out and has a chance to heat everything up!). I'm sure the rain is hampering the efforts to return everyone to power. I know everyone is trying to be patient.

Remember to never cross a flooded roadway on foot or in a car. One foot (sometimes as little as 6 inches) can sweep a person off their feet. Two feet can sweep away a car. Just always remember, TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN.

Be safe!
