Streams of moisture inundated the South Central U.S. over the weekend as moisture from once-Hurricane Patricia funneled into the region.
Flooding ensued across parts of Texas on Friday and continued into late in the weekend, creating impassable roads and cutting power to thousands. The rain pushed into Louisiana on Sunday, combining with isolated severe thunderstorms.
Nearly 30 water rescues were performed in the Houston area alone as high water overtook dozens of roadways.
