At least two people are dead and five people are missing after this week's torrential rains in Texas and Kansas, officials said Saturday. The same areas face the possibility of more rain over the long Memorial Day weekend. "It's not going to take very much rain to get us in those flood stages again," said John Brieden, a judge in Washington County, Texas, where more than 16.5 inches of rain fell in places Thursday. According to AP, the forecasts through the holiday weekend called for scattered or isolated thunderstorms in Central and southeast Texas. But officials say they will be monitoring local rivers and waterways, which could rise out of their banks in the coming days due to the heavy rains. Other parts of the U.S. got drenched Friday as well, especially in central Kansas, where the Wichita Fire Department says it is thoroughly searching for an 11-year-old boy went missing after he was swept away by a swollen creek Friday night. The department said on its Facebook page that two cadaver police dogs are taking part in the search.
