The greatest concern is for communities in eastern Texas, particularly those already affected by heavy rainfall. Floodwaters have surrounded homes, covered roads, and forced dozens of rescues, including from an assisted-living facility. Additional hazards include downed trees, power outages, and debris. With the ground already saturated, even moderate rainfall could lead to further flooding. Motorists face significant risks, as flooded roads can be deceptive and dangerous, with shallow water capable of carrying away vehicles. The situation underscores the ongoing threat of inland flooding from weakened tropical systems.
