Storms, winds, lash Texas, search for 2 missing to continue

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Another round of storms and strong winds was moving east across Texas on Saturday, and two people were missing from earlier flash floods in the Austin area.

In the Houston area, an official said a tornado has been reported in southern Harris County, and officials were checking on any possible damage there.

Francisco Sanchez of the Harris County Office of Emergency Management said 4-7 inches of rain has fallen since Friday night and more was expected. He said many locations had high water and more than two dozen water rescues had taken place.

Two people already were known to have died — in Austin and near San Antonio — when they were swept away by flood waters. A man and a woman also were still unaccounted for in separate incidents.
