CONVERSE
The Converse Police Department also announced the closure of Converse North Park and City Park, both near Topperwein Road.
Officials shared photos showing flooding in and around both parks and said the closures were in line with similar safety concerns raised by nearby municipalities.
Overnight, 5 to 8 inches of rain fell on the north side of San Antonio in a short period of time, resulting in devastating and deadly flooding — especially near local creeks. A few more showers and storms are possible through the early afternoon.
More than 6 inches of rain have fallen at the San Antonio International Airport, making this the most rain at the official rain gauge since May 25, 2013.
It will still take a while for the water to recede. When driving today, please use caution and remember that if you see water across the road: TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!
