Police said a 77-year-old man was driving on a bridge over White Oak Bayou when he drove onto a curb and tried crossing the high water. Police said the bayou's current pushed the man's vehicle against a wall, and it was submerged.

    In Montgomery County, three people were killed during the storm . In one incident, a man and a woman were sleeping inside a tent behind a Dollar General when a large tree fell. The third death included a man who was on his tractor trying to clear a tree out of the way another tree fell onto him.
