Finally stopped raining in Kingwood. Neighborhood streets and yards flooded. Another 15-20 mins of rain like it was falling would have meant a flooded home for me.

I'm curious as to what is keeping Houston proper relatively dry between these thunderstorms. Hard to believe there is still capping in place with these storms all around. Is it subtle boundaries that just have anchored down to the north and south of town?
