After days of relentless rain battering the Houston area, floodwaters forced the closure of several Texas schools on Monday.
Hundreds of people, including those stranded on rooftops, required rescuing amidst the deluge. A 5-year-old boy lost his life after being swept away in a car by fast-moving waters, according to authorities.
While forecasters anticipated a reduction in storms in southeastern Texas, persistent high waters persisted, leading to road closures and necessitating extensive cleanups in neighborhoods affected by rising river levels, prompting weekend evacuation orders.
