    High waters have flooded neighbourhoods around Houston, Texas following heavy rains that have already resulted in crews rescuing more than 400 people from homes, rooftops and roads engulfed in murky water

    High waters have flooded neighbourhoods around Houston, Texas following heavy rains that have already resulted in crews rescuing more than 400 people from homes, rooftops and roads engulfed in murky water


    A wide region is swamped from Houston to rural East Texas, where game wardens rode airboats through waist-high waters rescuing both people and pets who did not evacuate in time.

    Officials redoubled urgent instructions for residents in low-lying areas to evacuate, warning the worst was still to come since the rains began early last month.
