A body was pulled from a vehicle near the Scyene Road Bridge in Mesquite, Texas, about 15 miles east of Dallas, ABC Dallas affiliate WFAA reported. The car was discovered as the water receded, city officials said.
At one point overnight, the rainfall rate climbed to 3 inches per hour, forcing drivers to abandon their cars on roads.
The Fort Worth Fire Department said it responded to 133 high water calls. Dallas Fire-Rescue said it responded to 186 high water incidents and 314 car crashes.

The rain is now shifting east and will reach eastern Texas, northern Louisiana and central Mississippi by Monday evening.
Louisiana and Mississippi are forecast to get hit with 6 inches of rain in just one or two days, which could cause flooding Tuesday and Wednesday.
