I will be leaving downtown Houston in about 20 minutes. What are the chances of me making it home to southwest Houston without flooding out? Anyone out and about?

I will be leaving downtown Houston in about 20 minutes. What are the chances of me making it home to southwest Houston without flooding out? Anyone out and about?

Looking at Houston Transtar, there are no flooded out areas on the SW Freeway.

In Rosenberg, the underpass on 36 is flooded and the intersection of 36 & 90 is flooded. Rain is slacking up on the SW Freeway. But, you've probably left, now. Good luck.

[Katdaddy]

Still some isolated heavy showers from Houston metro down to the SW across Ft Bend, Wharton, and Brazoria Counties but the strong cells have moved rapidly away to the NE of the Houston-Galveston areas.
