TEXARKANA (KSLA) - Many Texarkana drivers decided not to challenge the rushing water on Potomac Avenue on Wednesday, Feb. 8, after excessive rain flooded streets throughout the city.
The rain began before daybreak and continued through the afternoon. Not everyone made it through the weather without getting wet.

Jazz Rodrigues said the water made her late for work.
“When I hit right here, I noticed the car started losing control. So I pulled into this neighborhood thinking it would be the best bet. Obviously, it wasn’t; so I am flooded and underwater.”
Officials encourage motorists not to chance going through this high water.
