The missing person count in Texas following a series of deadly storms has fallen after authorities learned of two people reported they safely avoided the flooded area.

Blanco County spokesman Ben Oakley says a man told authorities Saturday that he and his child made it safely out of the county. He says the pair was unaware until recently they had been counted among the missing.

Another person was reported as missing that same day, leaving the total number of lost people at 10. At least 31 were killed in Oklahoma and Texas this month by storms that dropped record rainfall across the states.
