Videos from Sloan Byerly, the chief of staff for state Rep. Travis Clardy, showed flooding in the underground extension and hallways of the Texas Capitol.

While another video shared with KPRC 2 shows flooding inside of Gregory Gym at UT Austin.

According to KXAN, a flash flood warning is in effect for Central Travis County until 5:15 p.m. after more than four inches of rain fell in an hour.

Rainfall totals over the next 24 hours look to be on the range of around 0.25″ to 0.75″. However, isolated totals of 1″+ are possible where the heavier downpours develop.
