Following another soaking downpour, the city of Dallas is assisting in the response by multiple city departments to flooding that happened overnight in Dallas.

According to a release from the city, its Emergency Operations Center is at a Level 3 monitoring status, and this morning's commute is slow in many areas due to high water and closed roadways. Commuters are advised to use extreme caution when traveling and turn around when in doubt.

In the overnight hours, both the Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire-Rescue conducted numerous rescues of stranded motorists. There were no casualties, and there is no major damage to property. A field command post was established to coordinate water rescue response but has been deactivated as of this update.

Since midnight last night, Dallas Fire-Rescue has responded to 272 calls related to high-water and the general weather conditions. There were 200 "investigations," most, if not all, cars trapped in high-water; 67 motor vehicle accidents; and 6 water rescues.

The City of Dallas 3-1-1 Center and the Department of Streets Services continue to field calls regarding high water, and they are working to ensure flooded roadways are barricaded to ensure motorists' safety.

The city will continue to be in close contact with the National Weather Service, US Army Corps of Engineers and the Trinity Watershed Management Department to prepare for any impacts or river flooding as a result of this recent rainfall. A flood warning remains in effect for both the Trinity River and White Rock Creek; however, the flood control system continues to operate as designed to protect people from flood waters.
