Summary
Texas braces for more catastrophic flooding as another deluge threatens Central and South Texas, with Governor Greg Abbott declaring saving lives the top priority. Fifty-nine counties are under flood watch, including Uvalde and Johnson City, where record river levels loom and over 230 rescues have already been conducted. Forecasters warn of 10–15 inches of rain on already saturated ground, risking deadly flash floods. Two deaths have been confirmed—one in an RV near Comfort, another in Uvalde—while hundreds of roads remain impassable and emergency supplies are prepped for rapid deployment. Officials are urging residents to avoid all flooded areas, even after waters recede, as infrastructure may be dangerously compromised. The next 24 hours are critical to prevent further loss of life.
