At least 15 people were killed from the torrential rains in Texas and Oklahoma, including three in Houston, where floods have turned streets into rivers and emergency services have received approximately 1000 calls in a day.

The number of dead is expected to increase, since 30 people are still missing. Hundreds of houses were destroyed, bridges were torn down by waters, and a coffin was disinterred, and dragged to the side of a swamp.
