"The water was up to the roofline of the homes and that’s what prevented the people from being able to get away. The water just came up too fast," Palestine Police Captain James Muniz said, as quoted to the media outlet.
Up to 10 homes were damaged in the flood, according to Muniz.
The floods were caused by heavy rain and storms.
