Central Texas took the brunt of the slow-moving storm that has been over the state since early in the week and is expected to remain through the weekend. Firefighters in San Antonio rescued several people from stalled vehicles. One man was reported missing after at least five vehicles were swept off a road and into Leon Creek.
