I wouldn't doubt that there is localized flooding occurring right now. I was out filming earlier and there's been very few breaks in between torrential down pours. While I didn't see any major flooding while I was out driving just a few minutes ago, the sides of the roads were so entrenched in water that they were very hard to drive through. Expect video later.
