That storm was the main turning point for DW and preparedness. A lady in our neighborhood drowned in that storm. She was working late when the building's security guard called her to move her car from the basement garage. Water was starting to flow in. She took the elevator down and when its door opened the water rushed in, filled the elevator and she drowned. Our street received 39 inches of rain on that day. The weatherman predicted only a 30% chance of rain...

Never trust Houston weather.
