Hanna left behind enough rain to block some roadways.
Throughout the day people had to decide whether to stay at home or leave and stay at a shelter or with family.
"Firefighters came through and went door to door and they just told everybody it's in their best interest to evacuate," said Eric Morrow.
Morrow lives at Grove Park Apartments and overflow from Crabtree Creek gathered in yards and parking lots.
"It's got me kinda' worried," said Louis Morrow.
Early Saturday morning some folks decided to leave.For those who stayed, they said the situation got worse as the day went on.
"It was back there, it wasn't too bad and then it was at the first step and now it's just, if you stand here and watch it, it's getting higher," said Yvonne Miles.
Late Saturday afternoon, Miles still didn't know if she should pack up her four kids and grandchild and leave.
"I was trying to tough it out but this right here is scaring me," she said
Across town on Rose Lane, Walnut Creek overflowed into the road. And those who evacuated Saturday morning couldn't get home that afternoon.
"The road is closed, I can not get in," said evacuee Pierre Ozana.
He could walk through the water but didn't feel it was safe to make the trip with his two kids.
"I'm a pastor of the church, so I want to get there and do what I have to do for tomorrow," he said.
Even though he says the whole situation was inconvenient -- he says he's thankful he and his family are safe.
"To save life, we have to follow what the city said," said Ozana.
On the other side of the woods, some residents weren't surprised to see the water pile up.
And besides ruining their Saturday plans, they said Hanna wasn't so bad.
"We were about to go to the mall, but no we couldn't now because the water is in the way," said Jesus Garcia.
