SLIDESHOW: Rain From Tropical Storm Hermine Floods Texas Apartments
About two inches of rain collected in the courtyard of an apartment complex three blocks away from the University of Texas at Austin. A friend who is a junior at the university and lives in that complex happily shared some photographs of the ordeal that awaited him after class.
The rain flooded the building's hallways, his foyer and his kitchen. He said the flood eventually reached the two bedrooms in his apartment as well. Check out the SLIDESHOW BELOW.
The storm had sustained winds of 45 mph Tuesday morning. By night, winds had subsided to 35 mph. However, the gusts were strong enough to blow off the roof of an apartment complex in Bexar County, Texas.
Meanwhile, CNN reports Hermine will bring similar amounts of rainfall to Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri during the next several days. A few areas may receive as much as a foot of rainfall. Those states could see "life-threatening flash floods," forecasters told CNN.
