Four dead and two missing after San Antonio drenched with strongest rains in more than a decade

Four people have been killed and at least two are missing after San Antonio received more than two months worth of rainfall Thursday.

Local reports showed vehicles across the city trapped in high water overnight after the area received more than six inches of rain. Many cars were seen covered by water or floating along Interstate 35.

KSAT reports many areas have reached their highest daily rainfall amount since May, 2013. The four people killed were swept away in floodwaters as crews rescued dozens of others, officials said.
