Any of those points to something failed inside the opener itself, not the door, the spring or the track it's attached to.

What garage door opener damage looks like before the unit fully quits
The first sign is rarely total silence. It's usually a motor that runs louder than it used to, a door that starts up and then stalls partway, or lights on the opener that blink through a fault code instead of running normal. Each of those points at a different part inside the housing — a worn gear, a failing capacitor, a board that's lost its connection to the safety sensors — and running the opener repeatedly once any of that starts showing usually finishes the job that a repair call could have stopped.
Why garage door opener damage in Brookside Village so often traces back to water
Hurricane Harvey damaged 95% of homes in Brookside Village in August 2017, and Tropical Storm Beta pushed roughly three inches of water into around two dozen homes here again in September 2020. An opener unit mounted on the ceiling is usually above the waterline itself, but the wiring that feeds it, the wall button, and anything stored on a garage floor that could have shorted a circuit are not. A unit that's run since either storm without ever being checked for corrosion at a connection point is a candidate for exactly the kind of intermittent failure that looks electrical but isn't.

Garage door opener damage on a city built mostly in one era
With the median home in Brookside Village built around 1987, a large share of the openers running in this city are old enough to be on original motors, gearing and circuit boards that have simply worn out on their own, separate from any flood. A unit that age failing from normal wear looks a lot like one damaged by water, which is why the actual diagnosis matters before anyone decides whether the fix is a repair or a full opener replacement.
What a stormwater fix wouldn't have changed about garage door opener damage
The $999,834 Hurricane Harvey grant the city received from the Texas General Land Office was designated for street improvements and stormwater conveyance — work aimed at keeping roads passable and moving water off the streets faster, not at anything inside an individual garage. That funding never touched the openers, wiring or units themselves, so any damage a home took from either storm is still sitting there unaddressed unless someone's had the opener actually inspected since.
