Beaumont/Houston: Flood Watch, Training Storms
It's been storming in Beaumont ALL night and has not stopped yet. Does anybody have any reports of flooding? I'm having Allison flashbacks.

Actually, yes! According to local news sites there is a lot of street flooding and as of 7:45 this morning most major underpasses in Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange have several feet of standing water. Water is also moving into homes in some areas. I took a screenshot of the KFDM Instaweather in the middle of the night. Check out the rain rate.
It's still pouring down here in Beaumont with no end in sight.

BTW, that 4.63" is now going on 13" of rain since midnight.

OMG, that rainrate is like what we were having during Allison!!!! We have floodingin in N and NE Houston now, but we haven't gotten that much rain. Some areas in houston are closing in on 8" since early this morning though. Most of that is to the N and Ne areas of Houston, which is more towards the Beaumont area.

Welcome to Storm2k rainshine!!!! I breifly lost power during the storm. I hope you are staying safe over there in Beaumont. I'm aware that you guys have been getting pounded all night! The rain has just began here in SE Houston but I'm watching the radar and it appears to be training. This is starting to remind me of Allison 2001. I hope it stops soon.

This is just like a Tropical Storm. Weak mid level low over east Texas and you have you flooding rains develop at night and early mornings. Rain totals as of 9:45 AM.....Beaumont..12.25"/ Winnie 13.78"/ Vidor 8.00"/ Orange 5.25" Usually in an event like this you'll see a break in the rain in the afternoon and early at night before it redevelops again after midnight. Could see a repeat tonight as mid level low not forecasted to move out until Wednesday.
