Summary
Texas braces for more catastrophic flooding as Governor Greg Abbott declares protecting lives the top priority amid dangerous conditions set to worsen. Fifty-nine counties are under a flood watch, with Uvalde and Johnson City in the most perilous zones. Another 10-15 inches of rain threatens already saturated areas, leaving communities cut off and forcing emergency response teams to deploy half a million meals and a million water bottles—even by military plane. Two tragic deaths have already been confirmed: one man swept away in an RV near Comfort, another a 75-year-old driving in Uvalde. Over 100 roads remain closed or impassable, and officials warn that even after waters recede, bridges and roads may be structurally compromised. Rescue remains the immediate focus, with damage assessments expected to begin as early as tomorrow. Residents are urgently told to avoid all flooded areas and rising waters.
