Heavy rains caused flooding in several areas around the county including West Orange, Orangefield, and Bridge City.

Several areas of Interstate 10 frontage road are covered by water including the Simmons Drive area. Exit 874 from Interstate 10 eastbound is closed due to high water.   

Some areas have already received upwards of five inches of rain, with rain still ongoing. Unfortunately, rain chances will persist throughout the day as well.
