Reply #8: it's 40 mph sustained winds [View All]

[sui generis]

in some cases up to 70, which we have had before.

Much of the rain will have dispersed already, and the Trinity basin is not at risk unless we get literally days of non-stop heavy rain.

The worst thing to worry about downtown is flying glass in 70mph winds (Cat 2) or being on an elevated overpass (such as the High 5), & flash flooding in Oak Cliff, Arlington & Grand Prairie (hillier areas)- Dallas is a glass skyscraper city, and the north 75 corridor has taken severe wind damage to glass faced buildings in past 70 mpg events.

I would say remain practical about this until you hear from official sources.
