According to the National Weather Service, Collin County is under a flood warning which is expected to expire Thursday morning.
It takes six inches of fast-moving water to knock down an adult and a foot of water to carry away a small car, according to the fire department.
Tuesday night the McKinney Fire Department rescued four people from cars swept away by the flooding at Towne Lake Park. Two people were brought to safety by boat and two others were able to walk out, according to a press release from the department.
Heavy rain was also seen at Craig Ranch Fitness & Spa, located at 7910 Collin McKinney Parkway.
