'Our biggest fear is lack of movement in this storm and constant rain,' said Houston Mayor Pro-Tem Dave Martin.
"Our biggest fear is lack of movement in this storm and constant rain," said Houston Mayor Pro-Tem Dave Martin. "If the storm moves through quickly, we’re in great shape. We can handle six to 10 inches. But if it sits there and rains continuously, we’ll have some challenges."Throughout Wednesday evening, areas around Houston experienced heavy rain, severe thunderstorms, and hail.
"What that does is, it builds up additional storage for us," said Martin. "So, that we can take on water when it rains and when it comes down the San Jacinto into Lake Houston."
