A massive downpour kept buses and parents off the roads in Cleveland, Texas and forced Southside Elementary to keep students inside, Cleveland Independent School District spokesperson Susan Ard told CNN."In Cleveland we have a lot of low-lying areas," Ard said."We can't get buses through."About 200 students remained at the school late Tuesday, Ard said. A local church brought in cots for the students and staff to stay the night, Ard said.

— Sheldra Brigham May 8, 2019 The threat stretched about 35 miles west of Houston, where a Fort Bend County judge has issued a disaster declaration for flash flooding and potential Brazos River flooding. "Our residents need to understand that is a serious threat," Fort Bend County Judge KP George said,"This flash flooding tonight is contributing to the Brazos River levels, which still pose a threat later this week. We are not out of the woods yet.
Keep on fracking!
In that area people are used to rain like this. Closer to the coast more likely to get rains like this. Nothing unusual just the price you pay to live in this area. I know, I lived there.
God bless all students out there!
Worst day ever if i was there
