August 2017Flash FloodClinton Park-There were numerous water rescues, with people being stranded within their attics and roofs, in south Houston and surrounding communities. Flash flood waters, from sheet flooding and bayous/creeks coming out of banks, completely inundated hundreds to thousands of homes and businesses. Roads and highways in and around south Houston and Pasadena were flooded and therefore closed for long time periods.||Catastrophic flooding occurred on nearly every one of the 22 watersheds in Harris County. 10 out of the 19 bayous in the county reached record crests and flooding. There was widespread flooding along Buffalo Bayou and upstream and downstream of both Addicks and Barkers Reservoirs due to record level pool elevations. There was major flooding of hundreds of homes within numerous neighboring subdivisions along the San Jacinto River and the East Fork of the San Jacinto River. Lake Conroe's releases and backwater flow from Lake Houston also contributed to the widespread flooding across the northern and northeastern sectors of the county.
May 2016FloodClinton Park-Flash flooding made roads impassable at the intersection of Interstate 45 and North Wayside Drive.
