A record-setting rainfall that caused massive flooding has triggered the US President Barack Obama to sign a disaster declaration for areas in Texas affected by severe weather that killed at least 24 people and prompted mass evacuations.
Barack Obama's federal aid, signed late on Friday, makes federal funding available to sufferers in Harris, Hays, and Van Zandt counties in Texas to rebuild their communities' damaged infrastructure and homes. Other counties could be reportedly added to the request later.
The National Weather Service said that there's a 70-percent chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms in the Houston area from Saturday afternoon into Sunday.
City spokeswoman Sana Syed has posted a map on Twitter of the most vulnerable areas in Dallas. According to the National Weather Service, some areas of North Texas saw up to seven inches (17.8 cm) of rain on Friday, with hundreds of residents calling for help.
One Dallas-area police officer had to be plucked to safety by a helicopter after his SUV got trapped in rushing floodwaters.
One person was found dead in Dallas' eastern suburb, Mesquite, after his pickup truck was submerged in floodwaters, TV station WFAA reported. The victim has not been identified.
Are you kidding me? 24 dead persons in a catastrophe?
More than 2500 killed in Syria and Iraq by Obama's infantry muslim forces known as ISIS.
do you realize how stupid is Obama's strategy even according to human losses.
