At least two people are dead and three others missing on Sunday in central Texas after record flooding.

In central Texas, the Blanco River has risen more than 35 feet -- about three stories high. The water rushed in so fast it destroyed a concrete bridge.

In Oklahoma, severe rain also has led to flooding. A firefighter was trying to rescue a family when he got swept away by the floodwaters in Claremore, Okla.

In Houston, a tornado packing 100-mile per hour winds damaged ten buildings at an apartment complex. Two people are in the hospital with minor injuries. Others have been displaced from their homes.
