The 100-yr rainfall total for this region is 12.6" in 24hrs. If it was 12" in 10hrs, then holy shite...there's nothing that can handle that. I didn't think it was nearly that bad. EBR only seemed to get about 3"-4", which is still a lot.
In Gonzales area,12 inches of rain fell in about 8 hours and around 10am almost 2 inches fell in 30 minutes

quote:Good lord. Then there's your answer. There aren't any conveyance systems, natural or man-made, that can handle that amount of precipitation. Detention basins are generally designed to attenuate the runoff from a 10-year storm, which is 8.5" in 24hrs.
