Several Roads Still Closed in Houston After Beta Passes Through; Flooding Reported in Coastal Louisi
Source: The Weather Channel
High water kept several roads in Houston closed Wednesday morning, a day after Tropical Storm Beta dropped more than a foot of rain in some areas.
Closures were still being reported on at least 10 sections of roads. That was down from dozens on Tuesday, when the storm moved ashore after making landfall southwest of the city. A few frontage lanes and ramps remained closed on interstates, including I-10, I-69 and I-45. A section of State Highway 87 also was not yet open.
Residents in the Houston area were advised to stay home through Wednesday morning. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said that would give time for floodwaters to recede.
"Don't try and go outside," Hidalgo said in an update posted to Twitter Tuesday night. "Nobody drives into high water thinking they are going to lose their car. Yet people do it, so don't be one of those folks."
