Several minor crashes and cars stalled out were seen throughout Wednesday morning as heavy showers led to flooding in some areas.
A video sent to Eyewitness News by Mellissa Clark with A.S.K. Towing and Recovery shows a dramatic water rescue along Spring Cypress in northwest Harris County.
Clark said crews helped rescue a man from an SUV in the water that hydroplaned, lost control, and crashed off the road.
The rain has been almost nonstop since Tuesday night, leading to multiple high-water spots being reported across the Houston area.
“It’s hard to see the road, especially when there are ditches on either side,” Steve Gekas said.
In Livingston, a beaver dam was to blame after a neighborhood’s main access road was washed away amid heavy rainfall, sparking a shelter-in-place.
