## Resource

Texas braces for disaster as catastrophic flooding sweeps through southern counties, with Governor Abbott declaring a major emergency for 28 hardest-hit areas — including Uvalde, where months of rain fell in days, causing bridge collapses, two confirmed deaths, and over 300 rescues by local first responders. With federal aid on the horizon and damage assessments underway, the crisis underscores nature’s fury and the power of community resilience.
