The cause
Hundreds of property owners in the Lake Houston area were affected by flooding that occurred between May 2-5, which was caused by upstream dam releases and as much as 18 inches of rain in some areas. While data shows water levels did not surpass those of Hurricane Harvey in 2017, they did surpass those of Tropical Storm Imelda in 2019.
The flooding resulted in 233 water rescues in Harris County, and 800 homes were classified as majorly damaged during preliminary assessments.
