Summary
Texas is in crisis as catastrophic flash floods sweep through the Hill Country, claiming at least one life and triggering nearly 150 rescues and 80 evacuations. A 65-year-old man died when his mobile home was swept away, and emergency crews are racing against time using boats and helicopters to save stranded residents. The Guadalupe River is surging to levels comparable to last year’s deadly floods, hitting communities still reeling from previous devastation. With over 28 inches of rain falling in just three days, officials are bracing for widespread damage as first responders work nonstop. This relentless weather underscores the growing challenge of repeated natural disasters—and the urgent need to protect lives and begin recovery.
