Recent severe storms have resulted in catastrophic flooding across South Texas and the nearby border region with Mexico, leading to at least four confirmed deaths and hundreds of rescues. The unprecedented storms have dumped extremely heavy rainfall, shattering records and prompting emergency declarations. Areas such as the Rio Grande Valley, particularly Southern Hidalgo County, have been severely affected, with streets submerged and infrastructure challenges mounting. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has activated state emergency resources in response to the crisis, urging residents to avoid driving as flash flood warnings remain in effect.
