Flooding in Texas turned deadly Sunday as millions of people across the eastern part of the state continue to face overflowing rivers that could remain swollen for days.
East Texas did see a brief pause from the extreme weather on Saturday before the threat of more precipitation and thunderstorms returned Sunday. Some of those storms knocked down trees near Lufkin on Sunday morning, according to storm reports from the National Weather Service.
There was some good news, however. River levels peaked Friday night along the East Fork of the San Jacinto River, which has seen the worst of flooding over the past several days.
The National Weather Service in Houston said additional rainfall of totals of 1-3 inches could be expected Sunday across regions that have already picked up copious amounts of rain over the last several days, with some areas picking up 4-8 inches.
