Authorities in central Texas have found two more bodies along flooded streams, bringing the death toll from flooding in the state to six.

It was unclear late on Sunday whether a body found in Travis County near Austin was one of the two people still missing in Texas. An 11-year-old boy was still missing in central Kansas.

The latest flooding victim identified by authorities was a woman who died when the car she was riding in was swept from the street by the flooded Cypress Creek about 1.30am on Sunday, Kendall County sheriff’s corporal Reid Daly said.

The car, with three occupants, was in Comfort, about 45 miles north of San Antonio. The driver made it to shore and a female passenger was rescued from a tree. But Daly said 23-year-old Florida Molima was missing until her body was found around 11am, about eight miles downstream.
