A fifth death in Texas has been confirmed following flooding in the wake of Hurricane Imelda.
Some residents suffered flooding this week from both storms. “We moved everything we could upstairs, but you can't put your whole first floor upstairs," Cynthia Watson, of Huffman northeast of Houston,When Harvey hit, 4 ½ feet of water flooded Watson’s home, she told the station. “We lived here for 30 years with no water, and the last two years — the second time, so it's heartbreaking," she said.
The grim discoveries in a canal in Beaumont, a city of around 118,000 east of Houston, and on Interstate 10 in Jefferson County bring the total number of storm-related deaths to at least five. Imelda, which was a tropical storm when it made landfall on Tuesday, and its remnants, dumped feet of rain on some parts of the region and resulted in hundreds of high-water rescues.
In addition to the two deaths reported Friday in and near Beaumont, three other deaths had been attributed to the storm.
