Severe Flooding and Storms Devastate South Texas
South Texas is experiencing historic flooding following record-breaking rainfall that has inundated streets and stranded vehicles across the region. Over the past few days, severe storms have prompted water rescues, with more than 200 people saved from flooded areas, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley and Cameron County. Emergency responders have been working tirelessly, with some areas receiving half a year’s worth of rain within just two days. The severe weather has led to disaster declarations in multiple counties, prompting Texas Governor Greg Abbott to activate state emergency response resources. Authorities have issued flood watches and warnings, and communities are facing significant challenges as they deal with the aftermath of these devastating storms.
