According to a latest report, about 100 people have been rescued in Austin due to severe weather across the U. S. midsections.

A thunderstorm stuck the state capital of Texas and delivered a frightening throughout the region. Also, due to the torrential rains that flooded Central Texas on Thursday, there are threats of tornadoes in many other states as well.

The storm also knocked down almost all the power lines in the state. This led to a 9-year-old Tennessee boy's death, which gave birth to a chaos in the region.

The Lone Star State's heart was almost drenched and the rain was measured up to 14 inches in the region. Another person died, who was a motorist, in the south of Austin, when his vehicle was swept out, due to the water.

More than 500 homes were swept in the state capital, out of which, about 100 people were rescued or evacuated from the floodwaters.

City Manager Marc Ott said at a midday news conference about noon after a helicopter tour that they saw very significant flooding. He also said that at some places people had cut of their roofs in order to get access to the outside world. He added, "We have many areas that need to be searched".
