In an extraordinary rescue, two young girls who went missing during the severe floods in Texas were discovered alive, clinging to a tree nearly 30ft high. The girls were rescued in the area between Comfort and Homillus Road in Center Point, during an ongoing search operation.

Texas Rep. Chip Roy revealed Sunday that the supposedly harrowing tale of survival of two girls who clung to a tree until they were rescued from the floods was a false report.
