Death toll rises to 5 as flooding paralyzes Houston area.
Five Houston-area deaths are now blamed on Tropical Storm Imelda as Texas residents fight through hazardous flooding that's brought the region to a standstill, leaving hundreds of cars swamped and abandoned.
On Friday, Houston emergency workers discovered a man's body in a ditch and said they believed he had drowned. Authorities also said two drivers had died in their cars as a result of the flooding, including the driver of a stalled 2017 Dodge pickup truck on Interstate 10 who was discovered dead after floodwaters receded, and a 47-year-old Beaumont resident who was declared dead after his body was found inside his vehicle in Jefferson County.
Constable Rosen sent in video of one of our Swift Water Rescue units in Independence Heights. He’s w/them. Helping stranded motorists & anyone else who needs help. "We collectively just held our breath for a minute ... we're just all relieved," said the sheriff, who knows the sergeant personally. Payne said he ran over, dodging other cars, and dove into the water to help pull a mother and daughter to safety.
