Emergency crews continued to pull motorists and others from high water Friday after the remnants of Tropical Storm Imelda soaked the Houston area, leaving at least two people dead during the relentless downpour.
The aftermath from Imelda, which drew comparisons to
Hurricane Harvey two years ago, was blamed for major travel headaches as motorists slogged through water-swollen streets and air travelers faced flight delays and cancellations.
Nearly 123,000 vehicles normally cross the bridges each day, according to the
Texas Department of Transportation.
