HOUSTON — Heavy downpours in Houston on Sunday left drivers stranded, roads underwater and even some residents cleaning up damage inside their homes.

The storms dumped several inches of rain across the city beginning late in the morning as they moved in from the north. The slow-moving system created dangerous driving conditions. In southeast Houston, high water was reported on major freeways, including I-10 at Lockwood and a stretch of 610 South near Woodridge.

KHOU 11 reporter Troy Kless spotted multiple stalled cars near the intersection of MLK and 610 and others near Broadway. Water rose quickly in those spots and trapped some drivers.

The flooding wasn’t limited to the roads. Jorge Morales, who lives in an apartment complex in the area, said 6 to 8 inches of water poured into his unit during the height of the storm. While the water has since receded, management is putting him to another unit.

“It happened really quick. In three or five minutes all the water start going in,” he said. “So my daughter started screaming, ‘Hey dad, look at the water.’ Man, she got scared she started crying because didn’t know what’s going to happen.”

Air travel was also affected. Both George Bush Intercontinental and Hobby airports reported ground stops during the heaviest rain.

The storms tapered off Sunday evening, but forecasters warn that more rain is on the way Monday, potentially bringing additional flooding concerns.
