On Saturday, strong slow moving storms flooded Houston’s Minute Maid Park – where the Houston Astros were hosting the Chicago White Sox -- with 3 to 4 inches of water reported in the stadium. It resulted from overwhelmed drainage issues within the venue. The water stood for five to six minutes before receding.
During the seventh inning, the public address system announced that the stadium would remain open after the game for fans who wanted to wait out the storm.
Additional reports of over 3.88 inches of rain fell in southeast Houston Saturday night over the course of three hours.
Further west and south, water rescue was reported in Hays County Texas because of rising water. Over 3 inches of rain fell in Laredo Texas, with water reported up to the roof of cars and water rescues being performed in a couple of spots from Corpus Christi to the southwest Texas-Mexico Border.
