## Resource

Texas is bracing for catastrophic flooding as torrential rains dump a foot of water in 24 hours across southern and central regions—with some areas facing up to 20 inches. Emergency crews scramble with over 25 rescues in Uvalde County alone, while Boerne declares a flash flood emergency, forcing evacuations and opening a shelter for displaced residents. Recreational access to the Comal River is shut down due to dangerous levels, and officials urge everyone to stay put and avoid travel as flood watches remain in effect through Thursday night.
