I was living nearby in Bellaire when this happened...I believe Nolan Ryan lives in Alvin,Texas. My wife came home from work that day, down our street, in a canoe.

The Greatest 24-Hour Deluge In The US Ever

"Alvin, Texas, was deluged by 43 inches of rain in 24 hours from July 24-25, 1979, setting an all-time record 24-hour rainfall for the U.S."

Yep, Nolan Ryan lived in Alvin, and my dad lived in Liverpool, he had some extraordinary flooding there where he lived on Chocolate Bayou, but it was a number of years before this 43” deluge, he also lived there during Carla, I was with him for that.
