There are no pumps in Houston. They flooded on the north side a couple weeks ago

24 inches of rain in Houston by bah humbugPumps work in Texas.
Houston - like the rest of the country (except NOLA) drains via gravity --- and for those of us living in Houston, we know --- it doesn't drain all that well when Tropical Storm-type monsoons occur.
Anything over 6 inches of rain in a compressed time period will flood impacted parts of Houston.
12+ inches of rain over 24 - 48 hours over a large swath of the greater Houston area, we'll be completely submerged.
Google "tax day flood Houston" -- i.e. April 17, 2016 for a picture of what heavy, concentrated rains do to Houston.
