Flood waters force evacuations across Texas and nearby states
Flooding from heavy rains forced evacuations in Texas Oklahoma and Arkansas as levees breached and dams faced failure. In Texas the Trinity River levees washed out near Trinidad and Dallas water levels remained well above flood stage as crews moved families to safety. Lake Frances dam on the Arkansas border threatened downstream flooding while Lake Texoma rose near its spillway and release rates climbed. Dozens of roads were underwater and hundreds of residents were displaced with lingering risk as waters continued to recede slowly in some areas.
