Storms Ravage Texas and Oklahoma

Recovery teams were resuming the search early Tuesday for 12 people who are missing after a rain-swollen river in Central Texas carried a vacation home off its foundation, slamming it into a bridge downstream.

That's the best way to describe the nightmare Houston residents woke up to Tuesday, after over 10 inches of rain fell in some spots overnight -- inundating byways and highways, slowing first responders, knocking out power and generally bringing the southeast Texas metropolis to a standstill.
