The Rio Grande overflows its banks and both Texas and Mexico sustains massive damage. Some 200,000 are homeless, more than 40 dead and total damage tops one billion dollars. It'll take many months before life returns to normal. Several aerial shots of communities underwater. Close-up of house submerged. People and children wade through or swim in flooded streets. First aid station, food line. Great shot of a young child sleeping on a cot with a diaper on and holding a baby bottle. Another shot of an old man lying on a cot asleep with his shirt off.
