Texas received widespread heavy rain on Friday - with daily rainfall records set in several cities - including Houston, Galveston and Midland.
This morning, heavy rain has been falling in Victoria, Texas.
It prompted an alert to be issued that I have never seen before on the National Weather Service maps. It was called a "Shelter In Place" warning. Here is the text.
MANY STREETS ACROSS THE COUNTY OF VICTORIA HAVE BEEN INUNDATED WITH
FLASH FLOODING. THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR HAS REQUESTED
THAT RESIDENTS OF VICTORIA COUNTY STAY AT HOME DURING THE MORNING
HOURS OF MAY 15TH 2010 DUE MANY STREETS ARE IMPASSABLE. THIS
MORNING...EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE OVERWHELMED WITH HIGH WATER
RESCUES.
