HILL: Urgent rescues under way in Houston and across southeast Texas, as what is left of tropical storm Imelda floods the region. Right now, people are actually trapped in their homes, trapped in their cars as water is rising around them. Rescue boats going door to door. CNN meteorologist Jennifer Gray is tracking the floods. So Jennifer, what more do we know? I mean how much more are these folks in for?</s>JENNIFER GRAY, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Well, this will slowly start to die down as we get into this evening. But the damage has already been down. Throughout the day today, we've had rainfall rates as high as six to eight inches an hour, some places between Houston and Beaumont have received more than 35" of rain since the storm came onshore. And you can see it's still raining. Now the heaviest rain has now sunk south of I-10, which will give those areas a little bit of a relief. But still, the flood threat is very real. And once the rain stops completely later this evening, it is going to take a while for that water to recede. So, we still have flash flood warnings in place. We also have flash flood emergencies in some locations. That area shaded in white indicates more than 20" of rain. And like I said, some of those areas within that white area received more than 35" of rain. Unbelievable. So, here is the high-res forecast radar. This is what we've been dealing with. And you can see as we go forward in time, it starts to really die down. This is 10:00 p.m. tonight. And you can see some pockets of heavy rain well west of Houston, but at least those areas between Houston and Beaumont look to be on the drier side. But still, quite a bit of rain to go. Next 18 hours could see an additional six inches, Erica, in some locations.</s>HILL: Wow, all right, Jennifer Gray, thank you.
