Dallas Fire-Rescue and Dallas police are on the scene of a water main break in Dallas.
The city of Dallas says the incident happened at about 4:45 p.m. on the 9900 block of Marsh Lane near the Walnut Hill Lane intersection.
The flowing water traveled about seven blocks down residential streets, Dallas Fire-Rescue said.
Dallas Fire-Rescue says homes in the area are not in danger of going under water, but some homes may experience water damage.
"I got home from work, and everything was flooded," Monica Salazar said. "I could not open the front door without water coming inside the house.
Water came up through the vents of homes.
"We had to run and unplug everything and put all of the cords up," Destiny Rodriguez said.
