GALVESTON, Texas — Tropical Storm Alberto formed Wednesday well to the south of Texas, but the effects of the storm were being felt up and down the state’s coastline.

While showers and storms have been persistent across the Houston area, the storm has pushed the tide inland, pushing water onto streets and into yards. It’s also bringing rough seas to parts of the coast.  

If you have photos or videos of high water, share them through the Near Me feature of our app.

We’ll start with this video in Sea Isle on the west end of Galveston. George and Alice Jensen have been shooting plenty of video that we’ve been sharing on social media, including this one showing water that’s at least shin deep.

Heading down to Surfside in Brazoria County, reporter Jason Miles captured this video of an abandoned car almost completely underwater.

Meanwhile, down in Corpus Christi, the wind has really picked up.  That’s where KHOU 11’s Matt Dougherty is right now. 

The water was also rising in Clear Lake Shores, where viewer Amanda Fenwick shot this video.
