Flood-Trapped Residents Rescued
From Times Wire Reports
Scores of trapped residents were rescued by helicopters and boats as rain-swollen waterways spilled across southeastern Texas, carrying off homes, cattle and lives. The bodies of a 6-year-old boy, a 37-year-old man and a 10-year-old girl, who had been swept away by the waters, were found, bringing the death toll to 20 since weekend storms swamped 60 counties.
