The remnants of Imelda will continue weakening Friday as the storm makes its way into northern Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, but it will continue dumping heavy rain.
Parts of southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana are still under flash flood watches, the National Weather Service said late Thursday. Parts of Arkansas will also see periods of heavy rain throughout Friday, with rainfall totals reaching up to 4 inches in some areas, CNN meteorologist Haley Brink said.
In its wake, the storm left some of Houston’s neighborhoods swimming in several feet of water. It is the seventh wettest tropical cyclone in US history, according to the National Weather Service.
“I’m tired of it,” Kingwood-area Sharai Poteet told CNN affiliate KTRK. Poteet told the affiliate that she spent more than $50,000 repairing her home after Hurricane Harvey — which dumped 27 trillion gallons over Texas and Louisiana. “I don’t understand why we don’t have any drainage out here anymore.”
