Soil as dry as Texas' will not soak up rain dumped at 1-3" hr, it will more then likely run off. Extremely dry soil is like concrete, best to have some light soaking rains prior to the heavy rains. It depends on how the initial rains fall. If they are fairly gentle, then the ground will open up and be able to absorb more water. TS don't start out dumping 1-3 inches per hour........the initial bands usually contain lighter rainfall......that stop and start. That might give the ground some time to accept the water. Having said that, if rain falls for 10 hours at a rate of 1-3", there will be flooding.......it can't be avoided. At this point, I think TX will be happy for any water it can get.
