By Saturday morning the bad weather had moved south to Houston and Galveston.Flood warnings remained in effect around Dallas, The Dallas Morning News reported. The Trinity River was expected to top out at 36 feet Saturday evening, almost 6 feet over flood stage.At least three tornadoes touched down in Central Texas, although no deaths or serious injuries were reported. Snow fell early Friday in part of the Texas Panhandle.Moller said that the storms, while they inconvenienced travelers and those who lost power, probably did more good than harm by topping up reservoirs.Copyright 2007 by UPI
