## Resource

Texas is bracing for more chaos as western flooding worsens, with over two feet of rain dumping in some areas and emergency crews pulling over 200 people from stranded cars and homes. Flood warnings remain active, urging residents in low-lying zones to evacuate. While Uvalde begins cleanup and road reopenings, two tragic deaths have been confirmed — one swept away while driving, another lost when a mobile home was carried into a creek. Storms are heading northwest, threatening Big Bend with more flash floods and stirring painful memories of last year’s deadly deluge. Amid the grim news, a heartwarming twist: in Austin, two paddleboarders rescued a tired raccoon from Lady Bird Lake — safely back on shore.
