HOUSTON, Texas

(AP) -- Heavy thunderstorms brought torrential rains, flooding and tornadoes to

southeast Texas Monday, killing four people, ripping roofs off mobile homes,

and trapping rush-hour drivers on flooded, tangled freeways.

A Houston mother and daughter were found dead in a sport

utility vehicle in floodwaters at least 8 feet deep in Houston, apparently of

drowning, the Harris County Medical Examiners Office said.

Houston Police Sgt. P.E. Ogden III said the floodwaters exert such

pressure on submerged cars, " Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't

get out. "

Two people died in Brazoria County. One person was found

dead in a submerged vehicle and a 54-year-old woman died in a two-vehicle

collision on a rain-slicked highway. No other information was immediately

available about the deaths.

Nine members of one family were injured when their sport-utility

vehicle skidded off rain-slicked Interstate 10 and hit a guardrail on their way

home from a family gathering, said Harris County emergency management spokeswoman

Gloria Roemer. None of the injuries was life-threatening, Harris County Sgt.

Dana Wolfe said.

As much as 10 inches of rain fell in the Houston-Galveston area overnight.

More rain was expected across Texas on Monday, although

floodwaters were receding in parts of the Houston area by late morning.

Parts of interstates 10 and 45 were shut down around Houston,

and the University of Houston and several other schools were closed. Twenty

bayous overflowed their banks, but county officials said no evacuations were

ordered. Some delays were reported at both of Houston's major airports.

A tornado struck east of Houston near the Jefferson County

town of China, not far from the Louisiana line, said emergency management spokeswoman

Darlene Koch. The National Weather Service confirmed the tornado, and Koch said

five mobile homes and two houses were destroyed. No injuries were reported.

Another tornado ripped through northern Newton County on

the Texas-Louisiana line, toppling trees and power lines, authorities said.

There were no reported injuries.

In the Texas Coastal Bend, as many as 20 homes were damaged as a suspected

tornado roared through the small Lavaca Bay community of Magnolia Beach before

daybreak Monday, Calhoun County Sheriff B.B. Browning said. The only injury

reported in the small community 75 miles northeast of Corpus Christi was a cut

thumb a man suffered from flying glass, he said.

Parts of north and west Texas got as much as 4 inches of

rain overnight, prompting flash flood warnings. National Weather Service

meteorologist Stacie Hanes said the rain in North Texas was expected to

dissipate by evening.

In Louisiana, three people were hurt early Monday when

strong winds blew through the fishing community of Leeville, 90 miles south of New

Orleans, authorities said.

An elderly couple was rescued from an overturned trailer. The woman

suffered a broken arm, while her husband was treated for bruises and

lacerations, said Larry Weidel, a spokesman for the Lafourche

Parish sheriff.

Another person was treated for a knee injury, he said. The storm sank at

least two boats, as well.
