AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- A girl pulled out of a flooded creek has
become the 10th person to die because of torrential downpours in
storm-battered Texas.
Alyssa Faye Murphy died Friday, a day after she was rescued from the
creek, a
spokeswoman for Scott & White hospital said Sunday.
Up to 13 inches of rain fell in parts of Texas on Thursday and Friday,
breaking
daily records in Austin and San Antonio, swelling creeks and waterways.
Austin crews on Sunday continued cleaning up sewage spills resulting
from flood
damage to city wastewater pumping stations.
An estimated 14 million gallons of untreated or partially treated sewage
spilled from
the flood-damaged Walnut Creek treatment plant into Walnut Creek, which
empties
into the Colorado River. The South Austin Regional Wastewater Plant
spilled an
additional 13.8 million gallons into the Colorado.
