What about Allison in 2001.. it was just a tropical storm but produced 3 feet of rain overnight in the Houston area. Ironicly Allison in 89 was the same (lot less rain) but we got slammed again..

Four is the record, set in 1995 and 2004.


Don't forget 1955.


Good call, Buck. I have no clue why I didn't include that year -- I should have known better.

Four is the record, set in 1955, 1995, and 2004. :wink:

You could make arguments for Kate 1985, Gaston 2004, and even Ophelia 2005 as well. Ophelia's damage estimate is over $1.5 billion, I believe. Not too long ago that would have been considered to be pretty terrible damage.
