A line of severe thunderstorms swept across Texas and parts of the South on Saturday, dumping more than 7 inches of rain in some places. ?In Tennessee, animals reportedly escaped from a shelter after it was hit by the severe weather.?

There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries, but Houston fire Sgt. Jay Evans told The Weather Channel said officials were encouraging people in the south and west of the city to stay inside.?Houston firefighters said they conducted at least 150 water rescues.

An unknown number of animals were on the loose in Fayette County, Tenn., ?after Fayette Country Animal Rescue was damaged in the severe weather, NBC's WMCTV.COM reported.?

The Houston suburb of Sugar Land got 7.2 inches of rain, The Weather Channel reported, and one photo showed a dozen cars partly submerged below a Houston overpass.

The line of storms stretched from the Texas-Mexico border through Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. The rough weather was caused by the collision of a cold front and warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico.
