HOUSTON — The storms that rolled through Monday and continued Tuesday are blamed for one death in north Harris County where a woman was killed by a falling tree.
Lightning was blamed for a house fire in Kingwood Monday night but thankfully everyone made it out safely.
The heavy rain caused flooded streets Tuesday and caught a lot of people off-guard in the downtown area.
In east Harris County, some drivers chose not to risk driving through high water while other vehicles took a chance and plowed right through it.
In downtown Houston, some people were caught off guard by the downpours and got soaked.
