One was 18-year-old Alyssa Ramirez, who was killed on her way home from prom. (Video via KSAT) "She was a good person. She was always competitive," Ramirez's friend Amber Contreras told WOAI. "Her car stalled out in high water on FM 2200, just a couple miles away from her home," WOAI reports. And in Desoto, Texas, authorities believe a 14-year-old boy was swept away into a storm drain while walking his family's dogs. "Damien's family called police when only one dog came home wet and muddy," KXAS reported. "He was funny. He had a good sense of humor and was a well-mannered child," neighbor Kimberley Carson told KXAS. In Wimberley, Texas, where 12 are reported missing, a family of four is now missing after their home filled with water and eventually floated down the river. The sister of Laura McComb, a mother of a four-year-old girl and six-year-old boy, spoke with KVUE. (Video via KXAN) "We all know and we have accepted that they're gone. ... 1:00 in the morning she called me she said 'I'm in a house. I'm floating down the river. Tell mom and dad, 'I love you,' and pray,'" Julie Shields told KVUE. Laura's husband Jonathan was rescued with multiple injuries and is recovering at a nearby hospital. More rainfall is expected in the area in the coming days. Sources: KOTV http://www.news9.com/story/29145823/c... KSAT http://www.ksat.com/content/pns/ksat/...
