Torrential rain caused flooding Thursday in the Houston area, with officials ordering some residents along a river to leave and telling others they may wind up stranded.
“This is a life-threatening situation,” the county’s top elected official, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, said.
Of particular concern is an area along the San Jacinto River, which was expected to keep rising as more rain falls and officials release extra water from an already full reservoir. Officials ordered people in an area along the river in northern Harris County, where Houston is located, to evacuate.
“We want you out of this area,” Hidalgo said at a news conference Thursday afternoon. She did not say exactly how many people were ordered to evacuate.
Officials asked that residents farther south along the river leave or prepare to be stranded by rising water for two to three days, Harris said.
