LIST: High water locations in southeast Texas caused by heavy rain, flooding

HOUSTON – A few high-water locations are being reported on some Houston area roads due to heavy storms, hail, flooding, and possible isolated tornadoes.

We’re urging residents as well to “turn around, don’t drown” if they happen to encounter some of these roadways, but we’re also giving drivers a heads-up before heading out the door.

According to the Walker County Office of Emergency Management, via Facebook, just about every road has water on them except I-45.

Here is a list of high-water locations last reported in Walker County, per the Office of Emergency Management:

• FM 1696 is impassable for most of the road from Hopewell and past FM 2550.
• Hopewell is also closed between Davis & Birdwell
• Wire Rd. is impassable
• Sam Houston Ave. & Avenue
• Four Notch & Dorrel are flooded.
• FM 1791 west of San Jacinto River

In Montgomery County, emergency officials are urging residents to take as much time as they need when getting ready for their morning commute due to the Northwestern portion of the county receiving more than seven inches of rainfall overnight and flash flooding remaining likely in those areas.

There are currently no high-water locations in the Houston area (per Houston TranStar) but when there is an update, KPRC 2 will continue to make updates to this story.
