It's legit weird to go outside and 1) see it raining and 2) see it raining when there is no crazy winds, huge thunder/lightning shows, or hail. It's just a nice steady rain. Can't remember the last time that happened.

Been raining pretty steady for about 5 hours in my neck of Houston and looks like it should keep going until about 3:00 this afternoon before finally drying up over the next few days. Nearest rain gauge to my house indicates we've received about 4.5' total in the past -50 hours. That's more rain than we got the entire stretch from mid-July to October 1st. 

Northern burbs have been getting deluged. Some areas near Conroe and Woodlands got upwards of 6' this morning.

I got to ride out two hours of it last night on the tarmac at DFW before Delta decided it was too dangerous to fly. It was shaking the plane and we were sitting still.

$88 Uber to a $500 hotel last night but back on my way home now.

I was 10 minutes from landing at DFW last night when they shut the airport down and diverted my plane to San Antonio.  I ended up in a hotel in San Antonio near the airport and moved to a morning flight to DFW but that flight has been delayed now for 3 hours.  Sitting on the plane now hoping to take off and get to Dallas finally.  Bad weather sucks along with OU.

We appreciate your sacrifice.

Damn, I feel for y'all flyers. Nothing worse than just wanting to get on your way and having to divert or sit on the tarmac (I guess nothing worse except for crashing due to weather.)

Flying sucks. Landed at ABIA last week and sat on the tarmac for an hour for the gate to open up.

I wouldn't doubt we got 6 inches up in The Woodlands, but 6 feet is a bit of an overestimate.

It sure as hell was this summer.

This.  During the hottest days this summer the afternoon humidity in Houston often was in the 28-32% range.  That’s low for Houston.  Afternoon golf at 100+ degrees was much more bearable than a morning tee time in the low 90’s with much higher humidity.
