Flash flood warning for Texas
Print Edition
The National Weather Service issued a new flash flood warning yesterday for Houston where storms have left five people dead and turned neighborhoods into lakes in the fourth most-populous United States city.
Southwest of Dallas, police evacuated people living near a dam that threatened to burst due to surging floodwaters as emergency officials searched for bodies from storms that killed at least 18 in Texas and Oklahoma.
Water had topped the Padera dam, about 40 kilometers southwest of Dallas, and police in Midlothian said they have called on people living downstream to evacuate and move livestock to higher ground in case the structure gives way.
The death toll in Texas was set to rise with numerous people still missing after Memorial Day weekend storms that caused record floods, destroying hundreds of homes, sweeping away bridges and stranding more than 2,000 motorists on roads.
鈥淭his rain has the potential to cause additional street flooding so residents are advised to be careful as they commute to work,鈥 the city of Houston said in a statement, adding there were two people unaccounted for in the city.
Flash flood warnings were expected through the weekend in Texas, the Texas Division of Emergency Management said as a storm system that has settled along several southern states brings more rain.
