A day after record-setting rains left three people dead and washed away hundreds of homes in Texas and Oklahoma, the heavens are easing up. But that doesn't mean the threat is gone. But the torrents that those storms dumped are still too much for river and creek banks to contain, and runoff was still peaking early Monday, threatening continued flooding, the National Weather Service warned. On top of that, rain relief is not coming to everyone. Forecasters warned that with the ground already saturated, even just a small amount of new rain could still have devastating consequences. In Hays County, Texas, just outside of Austin, up to 400 homes have washed away. More than 1,000 more homes were damaged, and waters washed two main bridges away in Hays. The weather service saidthe skies could dump 1 to 3 more inches of rain there on Monday -- 5 inches in isolated areas. http://bit.ly/1SyG42l http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
