Aerial footage shows Houston freeway inundated with water as torrential rain wreaks havoc in southeastern Texas.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has declared a disaster in 13 counties as Tropical Storm Imelda brought torrential rain and dangerous flash flooding to the Houston area, stranding residents in their homes, drivers in their cars and canceling hundreds of flights at local airports.
A second death was reported in Harris County, which includes Houston, as a man drowned after driving his van into floodwaters and became submerged, according to the sheriff's office. More than 33 inches of rain has fallen in Hamshire since Tuesday -- and over 2 feet of that rainfall within 12 hours. A preliminary total of 43.15 inches from the storm was measured in Jefferson County, according to the National Weather Service.
