Fire at St. Mark's United Church in Houston Height

Community leaders continue to monitor swollen bayous and flooded roadways following a flash flood emergency in several Houston-area counties.

On Thursday, neighborhoods and major roadways flooded as the remanents of Imelda dumped more than a foot of rain in some areas. Hundreds of people asked to be rescued from their homes. Texas Governor Greg Abbot declared a state of disaster in 13 counties.

High water rescues continue on Friday in New Caney, where the Caney Creek and the Peach Creek remain swollen. Part of FM 1485 is under water. Fire departments and volunteers are helping get residents to dry land.
