Getting hosed in waves north of Carrollton. Nothing as bad as you though. Hope all turns out ok for you.

Here’s what weatherunderground says is happening now:
:

Bands of moderate to heavy rain will spread northward overnight across areas generally along and west of I-35 as the remnants of Hermine move north slowly. The heaviest rain will fall from Killeen to Stephenville...Jacksboro and Fort Worth where rates of 1 to 3 inches an hour are possible.

Flash flooding will remain a problem overnight and may occur anywhere west of Cameron to Dallas and Sherman line. A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect along and west of a line from Hearne...to Waxahachie...to Sherman overnight.

Rained almost all day long in Houston, but no major flooding that I’ve heard of. It was nice to get some rain, but I think we’ve had enough for the time being.

Just south of San Antonio here. My tank received a lot of beneficial water, but there comes a time for it to stop. Between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm, I lost a huge pecan tree plus another smaller one. It just stopped raining a few minutes ago. The radar showed a disturbing training situation.

It’s pouring here (North Dallas), but we’re on higher ground — about 20 feet higher than average. The roads are rivers, though.

Stay safe and dry, and go Bucks!

Just NW of Austin and we’ve got areas with 4-6+ inches already and it’s still going...

We have several river flood warnings all around the metro. The lightening finally stopped for a bit though.

Got drenched earlier. The rain water filled our carport and came within inches of the door threshold leading inside the house.

Was expecting heavy downpours overnight, but it’s quiet out there since the early evening hours. I hear we’re going to get another soaking tomorrow (Wednesday).

In South Austin (Manchaca & Wm. Cannon area) -- I emptied my 5-inch gauge of 4.75 inches at 11:00pm, then dumped another 2.75 inches at 2:20am, or a total of 7 1/2 inches in about 20 hours.

It's still raining...

Well, I'm a TX FReeper, but I'm as dry as a bone. ;-)

I hope you are all safe and will stay that way. I've seen these things come through Houston before and they can be devastating.

Take care, all.

I’m on the far west side of Waco and just am hearing big rumbles..After getting nice rainfall during most of the day..the bands started skirting around us. The heavy rain band is close but not here.
Stay safe everyone..You never know how deep that water on the road is.
My house is up high enough that no flooding ever happens..I feel for those who get flooding.

Locally in west Austin we got 7.01 yesterday and .6 since midnight and it's still coming but we're high and dry. Expect that some of the usual places will get flooded.

I've only seen a couple of videos of low water crossings but they looked very tame, haven't seen nearly the run off I'd of expected but then that was yesterday afternoon.

Drenching came earlier.
It rained like hell all day and my yard is flooded.

The dog floated off somewhere.
