(CNN) What do you do if you're stuck in the floods in Texas and don't know how to get help? On Sunday, Houston 911 received seven times the number of calls it handles during an average day, the city's Office of Emergency Management said. It's safer to be stuck with a little water inside your home than to go outside, the Harris County Sheriff's Office advises residents. Even shallow water can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles, and there's always a risk the floodwaters will rise -- and rise quickly. You want to stay on floors above floodwaters but the highest floors could be affected by wind.
