\u201cLife threatening\u201d flooding has taken hold in south-central Texas, where up to 20in of rain have already fallen in some areas \u2013 just one year after the same region endured catastrophic flooding that killed more than 100 people.<\/p>\n
Flash flood emergencies were issued on Thursday for parts of Kerr and Uvalde counties, where emergency crews performed water rescues, as well as areas around the Guadalupe River and the Pedernales River, according to morning updates from the National Weather Service (NWS). There have been no immediate reports of injuries or deaths.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!\u201d reads an update<\/a> from the NWS in San Antonio. \u201cLife threatening flash flooding of low water crossings, small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, flash flood warnings were also in effect for parts of Kinney, Maverick and Zavala counties, among others close to the border with Mexico and in the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio.<\/p>\n A line of storms moving through the region has brought heavy rainfall, causing the Guadalupe River at Comfort, Texas, to rise more than 30ft in a few hours overnight on Thursday. Shelter-in-place orders have been issued for residents in Kerrville<\/a> and Uvalde, and a broader flood watch remains in effect until Thursday evening.<\/p>\n The catastrophic weather comes just a year after devastating floods during the Fourth of July weekend in the Texas Hill Country killed more than 100 people, including 25 girls and two counselors at Camp Mystic. The Christian girls\u2019 summer camp was located on the banks of the Guadalupe River, where a flash flood emergency was once again in effect on Thursday.<\/p>\n \u201cOur primary focus right now and throughout the remainder of this torrential rain is saving lives,\u201d said Texas\u2019s governor, Greg Abbott, in a statement<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Thunderstorms have produced up to 20in<\/a> of rain in the Uvalde area over the previous 48 hours, while 3-12in of rain have fallen across parts of Bandera, Kerr and Real counties, with officials warning drivers to avoid crossing flooded roads.<\/p>\n skip past newsletter promotion<\/a>Free newsletter | Around 2-3 times a day<\/p>\n Sign up to Breaking News US<\/span><\/p>\n Get the most important news as it breaks<\/p>\n after newsletter promotion<\/p>\n \u201cAll major highways and many city streets are CLOSED due to flooding and water over the roadway,\u201d the Uvalde county office of emergency management wrote in a post on social media on Thursday. \u201cPlease remain at home unless you are in immediate danger or your location is no longer safe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cLife threatening\u201d flooding has taken hold in south-central Texas, where up to 20in of rain have already fallen in some areas \u2013 just one year after the same region endured catastrophic flooding that killed more than 100 people.
