SUMMARY: A storm hit Galveston County early morning, causing significant flooding. Texas City saw water entering homes, prompting officials to advise against long trips. Rainfall exceeded six inches, with more expected throughout the day. Flash flood watches cover most of the county, and debris from Hurricane Beryl heightened flood risks. Low-lying areas and certain roads are heavily affected. Power outages occurred, likely due to lightning, and roads are impassable in several spots. Emergency crews are working on rescues and clearing drains. Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve, with rain expected to ease by the evening.
