Firefighters help a motorist from a car in a flooded intersection in downtown Austin, Texas, as storms packing heavy rain and tornadoes ripped through Central Texas. About 15,000 homes lost power in Austin and students were being held at schools until the storm system passed. Portions of Interstate 35 near Buda were blocked by cars overturned by a tornado.
