As parts of Texas were inundated with another round of heavy storms and flooding over Memorial Day weekend, videos captured the extent of the deluge and the damage.

Many locations have now shattered previous March-through-May precipitation records. Among them, according to the Weather Channel are: San Angelo (14.62 inches), Austin (25.44 inches) and College Station-Bryan (22.63 inches).
Large swaths of suburban communities southwest of Houston were underwater and hundreds of people were evacuated from their homes before the Brazos River crested at nearly 54 feet in Fort Bend County, just two years after it had run dry in some areas because of drought.
During four days of torrential rain last week, at least six people died in floods along the Brazos, which runs from New Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico. A Brazos River Authority map showed that all 11 of the reservoirs fed by the Brazos were at 95 to 100 percent capacity.
The crest on Tuesday eclipsed the previous record by 3 feet and exceeded levels reached in 1994, when extensive flooding caused major damage.
Meanwhile, another concern for rescuers involved animals stranded by the high flood waters, many clumping together on what little dry land was available in their area.
