I went from Galveston Island to the Houston suburbs over the course of tropical storm/depression Beta's journey over SE Texas.  Some areas got more than a foot of rain within 24 hours or so.  But it paled in comparison to what Harvey did three years ago.  However, it was enough to spark memories of that devastating storm that will likely become this area's benchmark for decades to come.  This story is from Pearland where a number of homes suffered minor flooding.  We also used one of our drones to get a better look.
