FILE - In this Jan. 18, 2017 file photo, Syed Ali waits with his stranded car after it flooded in Houston. Flash flood warnings are in effect for the Houston region, where torrential rains prompted officials to close some schools and delay opening many others on Wednesday. Public transportation has been delayed or suspended in the area. Despite public service announcements, signs at hundreds of low-water crossings around the country, electronic billboards and constant reminders from elected officials and travel experts, dozens of Americans die each hear when their cars, trucks, vans and SUVs venture onto flooded roads. Exasperated authorities aren't sure what else they can do to convince people to stay off flooded roads. (Melissa Phillip/Houston Chronicle via AP)
