Storms Flood Streets, Collapse Buildings in Dallas
Strong thunderstorms dumping as much as 4 inches of rain flooded streets, trapped drivers and collapsed buildings in Dallas on Aug. 18.
Authorities have not confirmed any deaths related to the storms, but people told WFAA-TV they saw a man fall into a creek and get swept away about 7 p.m.
The Dallas Morning News says two building collapses have been reported, including a partial cave-in at the Urban Inter-Tribal Center of Texas.
The newspaper also says Dallas Fire-Rescue rescued one driver trapped in high water near the city’s downtown, and several were stranded in flooded streets near Baylor University Medical Center.
