Texas Flooding Kills 2, Leaves 3 Missing; Disaster Declared in Bastrop County.
Two people have died and three are missing in Texas after a storm system fired up once again in the Plains, bringing heavy rain and severe flooding to parts of the region. Numerous rivers in the state are heading toward historic crests, and a disaster declaration has been made for Bastrop County, Texas, as more rain is forecast Friday into the weekend.
The Brenham Fire Department told KHOU 11 News one person died in a trailer home in Chappell Hill, Texas. The home was flooded as storms stalled over the Brenham area Thursday night. A second person apparently had a heart attack after driving into high water.
KHOU also reported a young man missing from his flooded vehicle in the same area. Two others are missing in the Austin area.
High waters covered roadways and prompted evacuations across the region Thursday and into Friday. Tornadoes that caused damage were also reported in the Lone Star State and Kansas, where twisters have been spotted for a third consecutive day.
(FORECAST: Severe Weather Outbreak Possible, Including Tornadoes, Thursday in the Plains States)
Friday Bastrop County, Texas, issued a disaster declaration after about 100 homes were damaged by flooding. This is the fifth disaster declaration issued by Bastrop County Judge Paul Pape since Memorial Day weekend of last year.
