To witness the power of nature, just look at the spring rains currently inundating many communities, including many areas in Houston and Harris County, TX. While rainfall is usually expressed in inches, do you know how much water that is? Just 1 inch of rain drops 27,154 gallons on a single acre. For an area the size of the City of Houston, every inch of rainfall drops over 11.1 billion gallons - and parts of that region have received much more than 1 inch! Yes, some rainwater is absorbed by the ground, but a portion of it runs off due to impermeable surfaces (roads, buildings, parking lots, etc.) and the more saturated the ground becomes, the less can be absorbed, resulting in more runoff and flooding. Impressive and dangerous what a single inch of rainfall can do.

The lower Missouri River has been on the rise most of the spring with multiple rounds of extreme weather and rain hitting the region from Omaha to St. Louis. The river has risen to flood stages in multiple locations, several times in the last month. Shifting to the upper basin, the annual runoff forecast remains below average, but continues to improve due to higher than expected rainfall and later season snows. Currently the annual runoff forecast for the upper basin is 19.2 million acre feet (maf), which is 1.7 maf higher than the previous month.

Northeast Texas at risk for renewed flooding as more heavy rain eyes southern US There is the potential for another foot of rain to fall on parts of northeastern Texas next week, prompting renewed flooding, while other portions of the southern United States will see rising rivers and streams.

There are differences between what flooding is and what water backup is. You want to have coverage on both if you're in a flood zone or an area that seems to get flooding on a regular basis. Water backup is when water backs up through the sewer or drains and starts to come up through the pipes in the floor drains in your basement. Flooding is when the snow starts to melt or it's raining a lot and the water's backing up and the ground can't absorb it. Water finds anywhere it can go, including cracks, crevices, door openings and window openings, and it pushes into the home and or business to do damage. You want to make sure that you have the right coverage for when those items occur. If you're uncertain and have questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Let's discuss whether you have or require these coverages. #floodinsurance #waterbackup #protectwhatmatters

#UnitedStates: A period of unsettled weather and severe storms spread across the Southern Plains, Lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast between April 8-10 resulting in dangerous flooding, damaging winds, hail, and #tornadoes. In Texas, large #hail generated notable losses in urbanized regions near Dallas and Austin. Torrential rainfall prompted flash-flood emergencies in Louisiana near the New Orleans metro and north of Lake Pontchartrain on April 10. The severe weather and #flooding were aided by a developing low pressure system and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico pooling along lingering frontal boundaries. The map below depicts 72-hour multi-sensor rainfall (inches). Large swaths of eastern Texas and central / northern Louisiana received more than 7 inches of rainfall since April 7, with localized maxima exceeding 12 inches. The storm will continue to generate thunderstorms and excess water hazards as it tracks toward the Ohio Valley into April 11. #uswx
