A family of six from Houston is feared dead after their van washed away in Harvey floodwaters while trying to escape the tropical storm, according to reports. The event would mark the single deadliest incident stemming from the storm, KHOU reported. The family included four children – all under the age of 16 – and their great-grandparents, relatives told the news station. The children's great-uncle, who was driving, was able to escape before the water overtook the van. There were first responders in the area, witnesses told KHOU, but there wasn’t adequate time to rescue those trapped.
