HOUSTON \u2014 Here in Houston, it doesn\u2019t take a lot of standing water to damage your car.<\/a><\/p>\n You can lose control or stall in less than six inches of water. In just a foot of water, your car can start to float. In only two feet of water, your car can easily be carried away while you\u2019re still in it.<\/p>\n If you encounter any high-water spots, remember the saying: “Turn around, don’t drown.” If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the vehicle and move to higher ground.<\/p>\n Below is a list of high-water spots, as reported by Houston TranStar.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the Houston area, floodwaters don’t only come from the skies, but from the rivers, creeks and bayous.<\/p>\n In Harris County, you can check on levels on the Harris County Flood Control website<\/a>. There, you can check the status of bayous and creeks across the county by turning on different layers of the map.<\/p>\n The state also monitors water levels, which is updated multiple times a day. You can monitor that here on the state’s site<\/a>.<\/p>\n The National Weather Service<\/a> tracks these water levels multiple times a day and makes the information available online.<\/p>\n
