Flash flooding in Tarrant County Texas

For now, says Stalley, “we’re basically watching a series of other disturbances that will be moving over Texas, and those will be responsible for generating a few more rounds of rainfall over the next 48-60 hours”.

In Tarrant County, where Fort Worth is located, a woman thought to be in her 70s was missing after she was swept away with her vehicle in high water, the sheriff’s office said. Clay said a fire department boat went to her location and brought her to safety. Some areas received four inches of rain overnight as the storm moved northeast.

Police say the driver, Benjamin Taylor Floyd, called 911 asking for help at the intersection of Campbell and Brand roads. Rescue crews were able to find her, and she was taken to a hospital.

A sheriff’s spokeswoman said it wasn’t clear what role the wet roads had on a collision Friday afternoon on a US highway in South Dallas in which two children were killed.

Garland firefighters say they pulled a man’s body from a auto submerged in high water Friday morning.

Firefighters in Garland, Texas, found a body inside a submerged Hyundai Elantra early Friday. The driver’s name hasn’t been released.

The first round of record rainfall left two motorists dead in the area, and roads are under water across North Texas.

Elsewhere, an ice storm warning was in effect for western Oklahoma until noon Saturday, while a winter weather advisory and a flash flood watch were issued for parts of central Oklahoma. Authorities are still looking for a second woman whose auto was swept away in a flood in south Fort Worth. Two people were rescued, but the third person’s body was later recovered near Mansfield, about 18 miles southeast of Fort Worth, sheriff’s spokesman Tim Jones said.

Sometime later the vehicle was found downstream in the creek and at about 4 a.m., when the water had receded enough for divers to get to the vehicle, they confirmed there was no one inside.

With more than 3 inches of rain falling Thursday through 6 a.m. Friday, it has rained 55.13 inches this year at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, eclipsing the previous record of 53.54 set in 1991.

The Fort Worth Fire Department’s search for the 70-year-old woman was suspended until daylight.

In Tarrant County, the deer creek was still up, hours after the worst of the rain came down.
