Looks like Common St around Gauthier to McNeese got it bad. 14" to 15" in 6 hours. That means Univesity Place is probably all flooded.

Finally slacking up to drain a little. I’m south of lake street post office and this was way more rain than Delta. Your area my be in better shape stout because we were in the heart of red that just wouldn’t quit. Hope everyone stays safe.

There are roads in my area underwater right now that I don't ever recall flooding. I can still see where the Delta water line was but this storm as topped that.

What are the chances we will see big rainfalls further east? I’m in Laffy and flooded in ‘16. I don’t think a foot of rain in twelve hours would be good...

It’s incredible the amount of stranded cars around town. A lot of businesses and homes with water in them. Unreal.

Most all models show the consistent rain being an East Tx/Southwest LA issue. And it is set up to be a whole lot of it.

3K Nam shows an interesting setup tomorrow starting West of Dallas. It shows line after line of storms rolling through, then merging into one long QLCS.

Does NWS Lake Charles just not believe in issuing watches? They've issued untold number of warnings today, but not the first watch. Even early this morning, there were no watches.
