METRO bus stuck in standing water as White Oak Bayou overflows
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A METRO bus is one of the vehicular casualties of the flooding that has plagued low-lying areas of Houston this morning.

SkyEye13 flew over the Katy Freeway-North Freeway interchange that sits adjacent to White Oak Bayou.

Torrential rainfall caused the bayou to overflow from its banks and onto nearby roadways, mainly the intersection of White Oak Drive and Houston Avenue.

It is not known whether any passengers were on board.
