'High risk' of excessive rainfall in neighboring states Friday

The deaths came before powerful storms hit Texas Thursday night killing four, causing power outages to more than a million customers, and dumping heavy rain on a region already waterlogged from recent storms.

A tornado watch shifted eastward with the storms, moving from Texas to southern Louisiana as strong storms moved through the area. Flood warnings or watches for intense rainfall were in effect in Mississippi and Alabama and as far east as the Florida Panhandle.

The National Weather Service had warned of a "high risk" of excessive rainfall at the Texas-Louisiana state line through Friday morning.
