Cars underwater at Dallas airport after heavy rains in Texas
DALLAS — Dozens of vehicles parked at a Dallas airport are underwater after heavy rains moved across much of Texas and brought flash-flood warnings and high-water rescues.
Water pooled Wednesday outside the terminal at Dallas Love Field Airport. Some vehicles parked in an underground parking garage were almost completely covered, with just their roofs poking out above the flood.

Water has covered the tops of these pickup trucks inside of Dallas Love Field Airport garage. Can you imagine getting off the plane, walking into the garage, and finding your truck or car under water? @NBCDFW @GrantJNBC5 pic.twitter.com/TpQK7ZzSVr
