Texas Hill Country county on the Edwards Plateau
The National Weather Service has issued alerts as a large, deadly flood wave is barreling down the Guadalupe River in Texas, threatening Kerrville, Uvalde and other Hill Country communities. Rescue teams have already carried out dozens of high-water rescues; governors have declared disasters across dozens of counties as rainfall continues.
Torrential rain has driven dangerous floods across Texas Hill Country for a third day, triggering rescues and road washouts. Authorities warn waters will continue to rise, with last year’s deadly floods weighing on response efforts.
