High waters flooded neighborhoods around Houston following heavy rains that have resulted in crews rescuing more than 400 people from homes, rooftops and roads engulfed in murky water. Others have prepared to evacuate their properties as a flood watch remained in effect through Sunday afternoon with forecasters predicting additional rain. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo says 178 people and 122 pets have been rescued so far in the county. She says the area is expecting more rain on Sunday, which could be problematic. For weeks, drenching rains in Texas and parts of Louisiana have filled reservoirs and saturated the ground.
