Dave,
Did you get caught up in those storms that hit the Dallas area... I didn't see all the details, but what I did see sounded pretty nasty.
I know Houston got some rain last week or week before too... I was down there during Allison in 2002 (I think that was the year)... I just remember that I10 about a block from my office had semi's floating down the freeway and downtown was flooded as well as the Galleria on the west side.
I spent about 18 hours trying to get home one night... I only lived 28 miles away, but about 5 miles from the office I decided it would be the better part of valor to pull into a parking lot and wait it out... turned out the parking lot was for a funeral home and four black men came out in the rain and help me to push my car up into the front of the building where we sat from midnight until 3 pm the next day. The gentlemen were sitting up with a body.
