Flash floods in South Texas

Roods and houses are flooded and one person missing due to torrential rains in Southern Texas. The floods started over the weekend and will continue through Wednesday, some rain and moisture is due to Hurricane Karl. On Sunday, Corpus Christi, received a record daily high of rain, 7.16".  Many people abandoned their vehicles in the high waters in trade for boats, kayaks, or inner tubes.

This goes to show that, even though the hurricane was not a warning for this area, it is still important to know what hazards are going on around your area because they can have an effect on your area. Without the hurricane, South Texas, would have still have rain, but most likely it wouldn't have turned into a flood.
