MIDLAND, Texas -- A rare steady rainfall in West Texas led to more than 100 high-water rescues and the closing of a city's school district, officials said Friday.
Officials say about 120 people were rescued from vehicles, mostly overnight and into Friday morning, with the total split almost evenly between Odessa and Midland. No injuries were reported, officials said.
The National Weather Service says the Midland area received nearly 3 inches of rain over 18 hours. Forecasters have issued a flash flood watch through Saturday morning.
