TEXAS, USA Texas faced yet another instance of our most common disaster flooding and lots of it. Some areas of East Texas saw more than six inches, which was not only inconvenient but even dangerous.
Smith and Gregg County were hit the hardest from the rain.
Water levels in Longview rose so high that residents had to make several rescue calls, including the one that Ben Clearwater with Cutter Towing took. He helped dislodge a vehicle caught in flood water in the underpass on high street.
