Residents of flooded Texas area begin clean up | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "MARBLE FALLS, Texas — More rain fell Thursday in Central and North Texas, where evacuations were under way and residents were bracing for more of the constant downpours that have claimed 11 lives in the past 11 days.

Officials reported calls for dozens of high-water rescues in San Antonio, and hundreds of people were being ordered to leave their homes near the bloated Brazos River in North Texas. Brownwood officials passed out sandbags to residents as a precaution. Forty-four of the state's 254 counties were under flood warnings until 2 a.m. Friday as rains continued to move across portions of the state."
