Beaumont, Texas, station KBMT is flooding thanks to record rainfall from tropical storm Imelda, according a video posted by a digital producer.

• Scott Eslinger posted a short video clip of several inches of water in what appears to be a hallway.
• He mentioned in the tweet that “we left,” suggesting the station was evacuated shortly after.

#KHOU11 is simulcasting for our sister station in Beaumont as its crews evacuate. It's a situation we are all too familiar with here. Our hearts are with our colleagues in Beaumont, as well as the residents there who are impacted by severe floodings.#HTownRush #12NewsNow https://t.co/foTJ2lwipt
