Southeast Texas Flood Crisis Deepens | Philadelphia News

Southeast Texas is in crisis as Tropical Storm Edouard’s remnants unleash historic flooding, with some areas getting 15-22 inches of rain and flash flood emergencies declared. The slow-moving tropical depression keeps dumping water, with rural zones reporting over 16 inches and more expected. Officials warn it’s life-threatening—get to higher ground NOW. Rescue teams are deploying aircraft, boats, and high-water vehicles as the governor activates 1,500+ personnel. Even as the storm weakens, it’s still dumping 5-6 inches per hour in some spots, and surprisingly, dry soil is fueling the storm’s persistence. More rain—6-14 inches—is forecast, meaning flooding will linger for days as communities brace for damage and recovery.
