Eight dead and many displaced after Texas flooding

Severe flooding has forced more than 1,000 people from their homes in southeast Texas, and at least eight people have died across the state.

After days of relentless rain, the Brazos River near Houston is at record levels and threatens to cause more flooding.

This long weekend was a deadly one for residents in the Houston area, where floods killed at least 6 people.

Despite the rain having now stopped, residents are preparing for even more flooding.
