A baby girl has joined the growing number of victims killed by Tropical Storm Harvey after she was swept away by floods in New Waverly, Texas, an hour north of Houston. Her parent’s pick-up truck had been pushed off a highway by rushing water. 

Fire chief Rick Stevens of volunteer fire department Punkin-Everygreen had been called to help with another rescue at Winters Bayou when they heard a couple scream for help about a hundred feet across the water from them, KARE11 reported. 

“As anyone can imagine, it’s been really hard on our guys,” Stevens told the NBC affiliate. He said it took his crew hours to get to the terrified parents.
