The boy, Lucas Warren, along with his mother Chelsea Warren and her husband, all got out of the car, but a 911 caller said they were swept into the floodwaters when they tried to get to safe ground, according to Moore.First responders arrived and were able to rescue the man and woman around 5 a.m., said Moore, who was involved in the search. The man and woman were transported to the hospital.
At least 224 people have been rescued from homes and vehicles in Harris County, an official said Saturday night, with evacuation orders and flood watches in place, as more rain descended on the state Sunday, with a bull's-eye of excessive rainfall over the already waterlogged Houston area. No deaths or serious injuries had been reported in the area, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo told CNN, adding 153 pets have also been rescued during the deluge.
"We have high water rescue vehicles. We have Jet Skis, we have air boats. Our Houston Public Works Department has dump trucks that can be outfitted to move people through those high waters, so it really is a unified effort to make sure that these Houstonians are staying safe," he added. The National Weather Service office in Houston posted on X at 7 p.m. CT: "After 93 hours in effect, the Flood Watch has finally expired."
