Emergency personnel have rescued the occupants of a houseboat Friday that was adrift in Lake Travis in Austin.

Austin-Travis County EMS says the 21 occupants of the boat rescued were not injured.

Responders say the houseboat broke free from Sandy Creek Marina earlier in the day. The area has been blighted by days of relentless rains. Emergency personnel used three boats to attach the houseboat to the dock at the marina.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for parts of Travis, Williamson and Bastrop counties until 4:45 a.m.
