That likely is a record. I think Tropical Storm Bertha in 2002 was the old record (7 hours from classification as a TD to landfall in Louisiana).

Imelda not done yet. Reports of 30 plus inch rainfall totals are coming in from southeast Texas.

Immelda may be retired...and it was barely a 40mph storm.

 

[warneagle]

One location north of Houston has gotten 6.16” of rain in the last hour. Some places are well above 40 inches in the last 72 hours. Incredible.

The FAA has shut down arriving flights to Hobby Airport (planes are still allowed to depart).
