At least 2 dead, hundreds rescued from high water in Houston flooding. More than a foot of rain in some places flooded low-lying areas across the Houston region Monday, forcing officials to suspend bus and rail service, close schools and government offices and urge residents to stay home amid what authorities said were extremely dangerous conditions. "This is a life-threatening emergency," the city said on an emergency website. "Houston residents should avoid travel at all costs today." At least two people have died in the floods. The driver of an 18-wheeler that drove into high waters was later found dead inside the cab, a Harris County constable reported, and another man was found dead in a submerged car, the Houston Fire Department said. Crews performed 1,200 high-water rescues as of Monday afternoon, Harris County Emergency Management said.
