Houston flooding, many evacuated must leave home at a moments notice.
At least eight people have died and some 1,150 homes have been damaged in flooding triggered by torrential downpours in the Houston area this week as more rain fell in the region, adding to vast pools of standing water.
There have been more than 1,200 water rescues during the flooding, with emergency crews shuttling people by boat to dry ground, and taking others to emergency shelters, while picking up hundreds of motorists whose cars were caught in rushing waters.
