Rivers surged, with one gauge in Comfort rising 25 feet in an hour — worse than last year’s peak. Families, including those celebrating reunions, scrambled to evacuate as water swallowed streets and bridges. Videos show the raw power of the deluge — but thanks to early warnings and upgraded flood systems, rescues came faster, potentially saving countless lives. Governor Abbott says this disaster proves the hard lessons of 2023 are being heeded — and that vigilance, not complacency, is the only defense against nature’s fury.
