HOUSTON, Texas — One of the major television stations in Houston was taking on a large amount of water when it announced that it had to go off the air. KHOU 11 News Houston is located near downtown Houston on Allen Parkway right on Buffalo Bayou.
A video shows rising flood waters outside of the windows and in the lobby of the news station.
The station started taking on water at 9 a.m. on the front entrance of the station which is closest to the bayou. They reported that they moved their broadcasting to the second floor in the conference room but had to move to the Federal Reserve Building 0.2 miles away. The station is located at 1901 Allen Parkway, the Federal Reserve is at 1801 Allen Parkway. The station previously evacuated during flooding caused by Tropical Storm Allison in June 2001.

KHOU reporters have tweeted that all of those located at the station are okay.
Crews are reporting from the Federal Reserve Building as well as locations all across Houston and Harris County.
