At least six people have been killed from the severe floods in the US State of Texas.
Four bodies were found in Washington County, which is between Houston and Austin. Two others were found in Travis County near Austin.
It's unclear whether a body found in Travis County near Austin is one of the two people still missing in Texas. An 11-year-old boy is still missing in central Kansas, too.
So far, two towns near Houston have issued mandatory evacuations, largely because of the high waters of the Brazos River, which is expected to reach a record level of 53 feet by Tuesday.
In other areas, authorities issued mandatory evacuations in subdivisions for residents who were in danger.
Two prisons near the Brazos River were also forced to evacuate amid dangerous flooding. As many as 2,600 inmates are being transferred to other prisons in the state.
The heavy rain began Friday. The Weather Channel predicts more heavy rain will hit Texas this week, from Tuesday night to Friday morning.
