All hell is breaking out in large areas of Houston with +/- 20" (with one location SE of Houston recording 26") rainfalls combined with 6 million people large numbers of which are stupider than chit, 3 drowned overnight driving through water deeper than their cars.
Rainfall rates in some areas are 5-6" per hour.

In 1776, the Battle of Long Island began during the Revolutionary War as British troops attacked American forces who ended up being forced to retreat two days later.
In 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa erupted with a series of cataclysmic explosions; the resulting tidal waves in Indonesia's Sunda Strait claimed some 36,000 lives in Java and Sumatra.

In 1908, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, was born near Stonewall, Texas.

In 1949, a violent white mob prevented an outdoor concert headlined by Paul Robeson from taking place near Peekskill, New York. (The concert was held eight days later.)
In 1957, the USS Swordfish, the second Skate Class nuclear submarine, was launched from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine.

Ten years ago: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced his resignation after a controversy over the firings of nine U.S. attorneys.

Five years ago: Republicans opened their national convention in Tampa, Florida, a day late, then immediately recessed as Tropical Storm Isaac surged toward New Orleans and the northern Gulf Coast.
One year ago: Republican Donald Trump warned of a "war on the American farmer," telling a crowd in Iowa that rival Hillary Clinton wanted "to shut down family farms" and implement anti-agriculture policies; Trump's speech at the annual "Roast and Ride" fundraiser for GOP Sen.

Based on this rain event if the two are proportionally equal then we have a shit-ton of Wisdom stored up in SE Texas.

Would have made even more sense to pay attention 4-5 days ago and plan ahead.
If across the highway from the river or on the high ground northeast of the river they don't have much to worry about.
If they live in Tahition Village then they are too late to worry about it now.

A Few Of The Wisest Thoughts For The Day:
Build and Live On High Ground!
Spend a just few hours and study the elevations and flood tables before buying land or a house! If you don't have time or know how then pay a surveyor to do it for you, it is cheaper than flood insurance or damage.
EVACUATE BEFORE IT FLOODS NOT AFTER!

But seems like 10K should get something different. What sort of Mickey Mouse operation is this, anyway? After all, Rick got turds. A precedent had been set.
