Hundreds were rescued from floodwaters throughout the day Thursday. Law enforcement officials from Houston to the Louisiana state line pleaded with residents to stay off the roads. "Wherever you are, stay where you are," Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said during a news conference about 10:45 a.m. CDT. He especially urged people not to leave work early. He asked them to stay until the storms have passed later in the day.

Just drove through there on the way home a couple of days ago. Had no idea until I saw a FB post from a friend marking herself safe from flooding in SE Texas. I knew about the tropical storm, but never heard there was any such threat. Did anyone else?
There's a live stream from Channel 13 in Houston for now (Thursday afternoon) here:

I am soooo proud of my nephews! Even though they had to leave their own homes due to flooding they were out all day since 2:30am using first 4WD trucks and later as the waters rose their boats to rescue people! They are wonderful young men!

Sadly, that is the last thing that we'll see on the national news tonight.

I was at work today when my wife started messaging me about her family in southeast Texas. They were burning up her messenger.
Severe flooding was happening, people out rescuing people that are trapped in their homes and so on.
Not much said on any msm news outlets, nothing mentioned here.
It is bad, worst then Harvey from a few years back bad.

The Weather Channel has been talking about it for a few days now.
From the map I saw, several areas inland, and south and west of Beaumont, got upwards of 3 FEET of rain in the last 3 days.

Checking in from between Houston and Galveston.
Nowhere near as bad as Harvey. I just got off work and we were a lot busier than I thought we'd be (have been working as a server at a little family-owned Italian restaurant near my house) considering we have been getting rain for the past couple of days.
Perhaps some areas flooded that did not with Harvey. I can tell you that the flooding from Harvey was very widespread and affected many more areas than has Imelda; not saying that there hasn't been any flooding as obviously there has been, but there is just no comparison to what there was with Harvey.
