Nation IN BRIEF : TEXAS : Heavy Rain Swamps Houston Freeways
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Up to eight inches of rain hit parts of Houston, pushing bayous out of their banks and leaving some freeways under water. Four handicapped children and their driver escaped serious injury when their small school bus went into rain-swollen White Oak Bayou near downtown, police said. Dozens of cars were stranded in door-handle-high water on Interstate 10 along that bayou. Several other major bayous that drain rainwater from Houston were reported to be at or above their banks.
