       Recovery Operations Continue in Texas, Mexico After Severe Weather

   by VOA News

   Recovery operations in Texas and Mexico are expected to continue
   Tuesday, after severe weather ravaged the region.

   The city of Houston got as much as 25 centimeters of rainfall in some
   areas Monday into Tuesday.  Many people were stranded overnight at a
   Houston sports arena and others are confined to their homes waiting for
   floodwaters to subside.

   At least six people have died in the storms in Texas and neighboring
   Oklahoma.

   Searchers in Texas are looking for 12 people whose vacation home was
   swept off its foundation by the flooded Blanco River.

   Across the border in Mexico, people are cleaning up in Ciudad Acuna
   after a tornado raged through the city killing at least 13 people.  The
   twister flattened hundreds of homes.

   Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared a state of emergency in 37 of
   the state's counties.  The severe weather was spawned by a line of
   storms that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico northward to the Great
   Lakes.
