Intense Rain Causes Flooding Across DFW

A line of thunderstorms stalled while passing over North Texas overnight, dropping as much as 7 inches of rain in some areas. Streets flooded, vehicles became trapped and water seeped into homes. Dallas Fire-Rescue said early Friday that crews have responded to about 260 calls that include accidents and high-water rescues since midnight Thursday. Conditions were so bad in Johnson County that officials encouraged people to just stay home, saying it was not safe to drive in the rural areas of the county. Nearly 20 people were rescued in that county.
