US EditionThe Search for Missing of Catastrophic Flooding in Texas Will Resume After Pausing Due to Rain
CENTRAL TEXAS, JUL 14 – Rescue teams continue searching for over 170 missing people as flooding from the Guadalupe River surpasses a 100-year event, causing widespread damage and evacuations, officials said.
- Early on the Fourth of July, floodwaters surged 26 feet on the Guadalupe River, washing away homes and vehicles.
- Exceeding a 100-year scenario envisioned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the flood moved so quickly at night that many were caught off guard in a county lacking a warning system.
- Rescue teams watched river gauges Monday, hoping to resume their search for missing persons after floods that caused at least 132 deaths earlier this month.
- After midnight early Sunday, authorities in Kerrville, Texas, went door-to-door, addressing scrutiny over whether residents were adequately warned about rising floodwaters.
- Through 9 p.m. Monday, the region remains under a flood watch from the National Weather Service, with up to 5 inches of rain possible in some spots, the National Weather Service said.
