COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Heavy rain pounded Bryan/College Station Wednesday afternoon, flooding some streets and parts of the Texas A&M campus.

Social media videos showed students watching as water poured into the Texas A&M Psychology building; students walked in knee-deep water on campus in another video.

The National Weather Service warned of swift-water rescues in Bryan. One man was apparently rescued from his car after driving into deep water. The man was OK.

About 3 inches of water fell during the storm. The floodwaters disappeared as quickly as they came. The sun was shining by 6 p.m. More storms are expected in the area through Wednesday night.

Texas A&M student on bike braves knee-deep water to give class presentation
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KTRK) -- While some students at Texas A&M University were caught completely off guard by Wednesday's storms, sophomore Ben Garcia says he knew rain was on its way.

What Garcia didn't know was a river would suddenly form in the middle of campus on the same day of a big class presentation.

Armed with a bike and a rain jacket, Garcia managed to pedal through the floodwaters and make it to class.

He also has become the face of the storm that hit College Station, appearing determined to make it across campus on photos and videos posted to social media.
