Horrifying drone footage shows Texas underwater after catastrophic flash ... trends now
Horrifying drone footage has captured Texas underwater after catastrophic flash flooding took over the Lone Star State in recent days.
The intense flooding forced 400 residents to evacuate and destroyed more than 100 homes.
On Friday, heavy storms in Houston left drivers stranded and a school bus of children in need of high-water rescues due to floods.
The following day, high waters flooded neighborhoods in Houston as forecasters warned residents that additional rainfall could come on Sunday, causing further flooding for Harris County.
The aerial shot showed parts of Harris County, one of the biggest in the country, almost completely covered in brown, murky flood water.
'We're just preparing for the worst,' Miguel Flores Jr., a resident from Kingwood, a neighborhood in Houston, said.

Homes were mildly visible as most of them remained under water on Sunday morning.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo cautioned: 'This threat is ongoing and it's going to get worse. It is not your typical river flood.'
She further described the surge of water as 'catastrophic' and said several hundred structures were at risk of flooding.
As of Saturday, Hidalgo said that 122 pets and 178 people were rescued from the treacherous conditions.
Schools in the path of the flooding canceled classes and roads remain jammed as officials have closed highways. Authorities have yet not reported any deaths or injuries.
'It's going to keep rising this way,' Flores said.
'We don't know how much more. We're just preparing for the worst.'
He told The Guardian that water from the San Jacinto River has consumed his backyard.
'It’s sad, but what can I do,' Flores said.
The state has been pounded with brutal weather conditions since early April as dozens of tornadoes have hit the Panhandle to the Gulf Coast.
Certain parts of Texas have been smacked with 'softball-sized' hail and the relentless rainfall has caused rivers to see levels that have not been seen since the devastating floods of Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
