MONTANA East of the Continental Divide: Dry weather continuing through today and Thursday. w aters Largest door opening the industry in stiSI rising in Texas SIMONTON, DISHWASHERS Texas (AP) The new year promises to bring the same old problems for flood-wear- y residents in southeast Texas. The Brazos and Trinity rivers continued to rise Tuesday, swamping homes and roads and forcing eva- cuations. Heavy rain that drenched the gf state in recent weeks has caused probably the worst flooding in terms of water volume in state the National Weather Service said. And it wasn't over. The Trinity and Brazos rivers, swollen by WU1Q4 his-.tor- y, Nobody gets your dishes cleaner Unsurpassed capcity heavy rain that drenched North 'iKirni Texas the week before Christmas, continued to bring flooding south toward the Gulf of Mexico. "My brother wants to take pictures and I told him I didn't want any pictures of this damn stuff," said John Geraghty. The highway leading to his home in Fort Bend Couty, about 45 miles west of Houston, was flooded by the Brazos River. n RANGES '.'It's kind of frustrating but there's nothing you can do about it," said Tim George, whose house in Simonton has nearly a foot of water inside. George, 28, and his wife spent Tuesday ferrying a few remaining items by boat from their house to their pickup truck. The Brazos, more than a foot above flood stage at 49.45 feet Tuesday, was expected to crest at 50 feet in Richmond, just southwest of Houston. Because earlier crest forecasts have been inaccurate, officials now say they are unsure when the river will crest. :The Trinity River. 35 miles east of Houston, wasn't expected to peak until later in the week. .The flooding and heavy rain have been blamed for the deaths of atjeast 15 people across Texas, but none in the past week. The deluge has swamped farmland, drowned livestock and caused millions of dollars in damage. More than two dozen homes were flooded along the Brazos, and officials said as many as 180 homes could be damaged before the water subsides. i'm not really frustrated because knew it night happen one of day" said Bcnnie Sbrusch, is60,near whose house Rosenberg, the Brazos. "It's just something that happens." The river, normally about 800 y feet away, now surrounds his 3 which has home, nearly Itelof waicr inside. At Liberty, about 50 miles northeast of Houston, the Trinity was at ?9.02 feet on Tuesday, 5 fccOabove flood stage. Emergency officials said there was water in at least; 100 homes.
