HOUSTON (AP) - 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 Sunday whether a body found in Travis County near Austin is one of the two people still missing in Texas. An 11-year-old boy was still missing in central Kansas, too.
    
Kendall County sheriff's Cpl. Reid Daly says 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 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
    
Torrential rains caused heavy flash flooding in some parts of the U.S. over the last few days, and led to numerous evacuations in southeast Texas, including two prisons.
