Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and the local authorities are urging people to stay home and off the roads.
Your sedan is not a submarine. Your minivan isn’t magical. Stay off the road. Wherever you need to go right now isn’t worth your life, or the life of the first responder who has to come and save you. #TropicalStormBeta

The Weather Prediction Center has issued a high risk warning for flash flooding for Houston and Galveston through Wednesday morning.
By Wednesday morning, the rain will start to lighten up in Houston as the storm moves east -- Beta will finally pick up speed, bringing heavy rain to Louisiana on Wednesday and Thursday and then Mississippi on Thursday and Friday.
