At least four people have died after their cars were swept away by Biblical floodwaters that tore through Texas on Thursday morning.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said two men and two women have been confirmed dead, while several people are still missing.
The deaths all occurred in the northeast part of the city, where authorities found 13 vehicles floating or submerged in the water.
Several people were sent scrambling up trees to escape the brown torrent. Dramatic photographs showed vehicles which were destroyed in the deluge.
'It's hard to determine at this point exactly how they got swept away,' San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Woody Woodward said.
