Rains bring street flooding to Galveston, Brazoria counties

Water from steady downpours Tuesday morning has flooded some homes in Galveston County. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect until 6 p.m. for most of Southeast Texas.

HOUSTON – Steady downpours in some areas of Galveston County caused major street flooding Tuesday morning. Water crept into some of the same homes that flooded during Harvey.

High water spots also slowed rush hour drivers in the Greater Houston Area Tuesday morning.

Texas City ISD canceled classes for Tuesday due to flooding in the area. The main campus of College of the Mainland at 1200 Amburn Road in Texas City was also closed Tuesday due to flooding in the area.

"I was told when I bought the house, this wasn't a flood zone, yeah so I didn't have insurance the first time," one Texas City resident said. "The second time I had insurance, thank God. I've kept up with it this year."

Dickinson and La Marque also had problems with major street flooding.

Viewers sent in photos of localized street flooding in parts of Galveston and Brazoria counties including La Marque, Texas City and Freeport.
