The Texas’ governor sent National Guard troops to Houston Monday as torrential rainfall flooded homes and highways in southeastern Texas.  Harris County Emergency Management reported that as much as 10.5 inches of rain was reported in the Houston area by the height of the morning rush hour. Almost 6 inches of rain fell in just 75 minutes near Hobby Airport, the National Weather Service reported.

The Salvation Army dispatched a “canteen”, a mobile feeding unit, from Conroe, TX, to support personnel staffing the local emergency operations center.  Emergency officials, including local Salvation Army personnel, will continue to monitor the flooding as more rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow.
