HOUSTON (AP) — Storms in Texas brought additional rain Sunday to the already saturated Houston area, where hundreds of people have been rescued from flooded homes and roads. To the north in the Fort Worth area, a child died after being swept away when the car he was in got stuck in floodwaters.

Over the last week, areas near Lake Livingston, northeast of Houston, have gotten upward of 20 inches of rain, said National Weather Service meteorologist Hayley Adams.
