Torrential rains have killed at least 16 people in Texas and Oklahoma,
including four in Houston where floods turned streets into rivers and led
to about 1,000 calls for help in the fourth-most populous US city.
.
Numerous people remained missing in Texas after the storms slammed the
states during the Memorial Day weekend, causing record floods that
destroyed hundreds of homes and swept away bridges. A coffin from a
Houston cemetery was unearthed and washed ashore on the banks of a bayou.
.
A lot of folks drove their car into high water and had to abandon those
vehicles, Houston Mayor Annise Parker said at a news conference.
.
Two of the dead in Houston were found in their cars and another two were
found in a bayou.
.
The Oklahoma medical examiners office said six people died in
weather-related incidents over the holiday weekend in the state.
.
Though Parker said parts of the city were unscathed, more than 1,000
vehicles were submerged in the Houston floods and people took instead to
bicycles, kayaks and surfboards to navigate water-covered streets.
.
The Houston fire department brought about 500 people to safety in boats,
local media reports said.
.
President Barack Obama said on Tuesday he had assured the Texas governor,
Greg Abbott, of federal help. Abbott has declared a state of disaster in
at least 40 Texas counties, including Harris county, which includes
Houston.
.
Abbott said he deployed the states National Guard and was worried the
death toll could rise.
.
Its devastating to see what I saw on the Blanco river when this tidal wave
of water just swept away neighborhoods, he said, recalling a disaster area
in central Texas.
