Two Drown as Flood Hits Texas Town and Arkansas Storm Warning
In Texas and Arkansas, severe weather produced flash floods and high winds. Two people drowned in a Texas flood while Arkansas issued a broad storm warning with possible tornadoes. Ashdown and Russellville reported damage as rains surged, rail lines were imperiled, and communication lines failed, complicating damage assessments. The Lampasas flood devastated business districts and homes, with about 150 to 180 homes destroyed or flooded and a large missing-person tally under Red Cross tracking. Local officials reported downed trees, unroofed houses, and water depths up to several feet in affected towns. Emergency crews worked to locate missing residents and provide relief as cross-border warnings continued.
