"Texas, Oklahoma: 3 Dead After Record Rains Unleash Dangerous Flooding"

"Flooding from record-setting rains in Texas and Oklahoma swept away hundreds of homes and left at least three people dead.

"We do have whole streets that have maybe one or two houses left on them, and the rest are just slabs," said Kharley Smith, emergency management coordinator in Hays County, Texas.

Crews are still surveying damage, she told reporters Sunday; between 350 and 400 homes in the Texas county are gone, and more than 1,000 were damaged. Two main bridges washed away, she said, and others sustained major structural damage."

Pat St. Claire and Catherine E. Shoichet report for CNN May 24, 2015.
