THE COLD-HEARTED ***** CHRISTIAN GOD, BUSY AS USUAL - 556 |

HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- The National Weather Service predicted some relief
Tuesday for flood-soaked southeast Texas, with downpours expected to end in
the morning.
But forecasters said more flooding was likely for the San Jacinto River near
Humble, which could affect 150 to 300 homes.
Monday's deluge flooded roadways and spawned tornadoes, killing four
motorists. Two children playing in a drainage creek were swept more than a
mile. (Watch cars swamped by floodwaters -- 1:10)
As much as 10 inches of rain fell in the Houston-Galveston area Monday,
closing numerous roads and some public school systems. Fort Bend County
roads were closed and widespread flooding was reported.
"It's scary looking at all this water like this. It concerns me a whole
lot," Charles Smith said as he looked at his submerged front yard south of
Houston. "If we get any more rain, it will be in my house."
"We are well on our way to the clean-up period," said Rusty Cornelius,
administrative coordinator for the Harris County Office of Emergency
Management.
Official rainfall totals for the 24 hours ending at 7 p.m. Monday included
11.71 inches in Conroe, 9.69 inches at Houston's Hobby Airport and 6.52 at
Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport.
For at least four people, the storms were fatal.
Houston residents Patricia Gutierrez, 36, and her daughter Melissa Rojas,
16, died in their submerged sport utility vehicle in an underpass where 8 to
12 feet of water accumulated near Interstate 45.
James Johnston, 56, of Needville, was also found dead in his car, on a state
road along the Brazoria-Fort Bend county line, southwest of Houston.
Water exerts such strong pressure on submerged vehicles, said Sgt. P.E.
Ogden III with the Houston Police Department, that "Arnold Schwarzenegger
couldn't get out."
In the Brazos Valley, several children were swept away as they played in
swift-moving waters. None was harmed.
Authorities found a 14-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl walking on a
Madison County road about 11/2 miles downstream from where they had been
playing in a drainage creek, the Bryan-College Station Eagle reported. "They
were a little scared and cold, but they were fine," Sheriff Dan Douget told
the newspaper.
In other weather-related accidents, a 54-year-old woman was killed when a
pickup hit her car head-on after the driver lost control on a slick farm
road in Brazoria County, said Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper E.J.
King Jr., the Houston Chronicle reported. The truck driver was taken to a
hospital.
Nine members of one family were injured when their SUV skidded off
rain-slicked Interstate 10 and hit a guardrail on their way home from a
family gathering, said Harris County emergency management spokeswoman Gloria
Roemer.
Harris County Sgt. Dana Wolfe said none of the injuries were
life-threatening. Wolfe said one of the victims was a 1-month-old baby, who
was not secured in a car seat and was ejected.
Parts of Interstates 10 and 45 were shut down around Houston, and the
University of Houston and several other schools were closed. (Watch drivers

Twenty bayous overflowed their banks, but county officials said no
evacuations were ordered.
In Hitchcock, near the Gulf Coast, a tornado tore the roof off a mobile
home, but none of the six people inside were injured. Two other mobile homes
sustained minor damage.
The storm spread as far east as the Louisiana line, where a tornado struck
near the Jefferson County town of China, said emergency management
spokeswoman Darlene Koch. Five mobile homes and two houses were destroyed.
No injuries were reported.
Galveston County emergency management coordinator John Simpson said the
county had "sporadic" power outages, most of them near the trailer park
struck by the high winds.
"Things are pretty good," Simpson said. "We're hoping the rain stays away.
Our creeks are going down, but that will be a long, gradual process."
