Heavy downpour floods parking lot in Galveston, Texas
- 6 years ago
Heavy rain lashed much of Southwest Texas on Monday, September 3, as weather authorities issued a flash flood warning for multiple counties.
This video, filmed on Stewart Road in Galveston County, shows a parking lot flooded after the rainstorm. Downpours in Galveston caused severe flooding along one of the island's main thoroughfares, The Strand, prompting businesses to close until the water subsided.
According to authorities, high tide exacerbated the flooding, which was 6 to 10 inches deep in places.
A flash flood watch for Chambers, Matagorda, Brazoria and Galveston counties has been extended until 12 p.m. Tuesday.
