“There is bad weather on its way so we ask for prayers for the family and all the first responders involved in the search and rescue,” the Brenham Fire Department department said in a social media post.
The next round of severe storms could bring as much as 6 inches of rain Tuesday to parts of southeastern Texas, according to the National Weather Service in Houston.
The weather service also warned of a series of strong rip currents and flooding along Gulf-facing beaches, especially during high tides.
A large swath of the state, along with parts of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi were under a National Weather Service flood watch early Tuesday.
Just last week, storms drenched much of southern Oklahoma and northern Texas, flooding and washing out roads and causing hundreds of flights to be canceled or delayed at major airports.
Brenham is about an hour and 15-minute drive northwest from downtown Houston, KHOU points out.
