Article excerpt
Water rescues were reported Tuesday morning in the central Texas town of Killeen, where heavy rain fell for hours and triggered flash flooding.
More than 8 inches fell locally in the town of 140,000 located some 60 miles north of Austin, and Chief Bell County Deputy Chuck Cox said they had to perform at least 32 water rescues Tuesday morning, according to KWTX.com. It was not immediately known if anyone was injured in the water rescues.
Meanwhile, officials in nearby Fort Hood searched for a person who was swept away by the swollen Clear Creek in a vehicle Tuesday morning, the Killeen Daily Herald reported. The vehicle does not belong to the military, the report added.
