Heavy rain Thursday and Saturday caused flooding, especially in some well-known problem spots. One of those is the lower levels of I-35 downtown, which had to be closed both days. Two issues contributed to that.
– Storms this week brought bright lightning, booming thunder, and for some, hail the size of golf balls. However, for most of us in San Antonio, the big story was the heavy rain that caused flooding, especially in some well-known problem spots.and this weekend’s storms.
“On the lower level of 35, we do have pump stations that help to drain the water. Unfortunately, the amount of rain caused some problems with our pump stations,” said Laura Lopez with the Texas Department of Transportation.“We routinely clean those out, especially if we know we’re having a heavy rain event. We want to make sure we have those cleared for the amount of rain we have projected,” she said.
The City of San Antonio has a different pump station than TXDOT. The Public Works Department has identified 144 Low Water Crossings that will drain naturally following a storm event.
