Heavy rain soaks parts of Houston

We needed the rain, and we got it!  At least, some of us got it.

Showers developing along a warm front produced heavy rainfall across parts of southeast Texas. Five to eight inches of rain were reported in northern Washington, Waller and Harris Counties.

Lee Sulecki, our Eyewitness Storm Spotter in Tomball is also a volunteer fireman at the Rosehill Fire Department.  He reported late Monday afternoon that creeks and streams in his area were still within the banks.

On the other hand, on the other side of the warm front, only a few sprinkles fell in southern Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria and most of Galveston County.

Mmmm...Wonder just how much rain we got? I listened to the Eyewitness News weather report to find out and no information was given--neither has this web site provided any rain totals. We know we got a lot of rain because we live here. I'm just wondering how much. Guess I need to buy my own rain guage.

RESPONSE from Tim Heller: We showed rainfall totals from around the area in all our evening newscasts. Sorry you missed it. The map here on the Houston Weather Blog also shows you the estimated rainfall.
