Gov. Greg Abbott says life threatening flooding remains a risk, as well as tornadoes, through the early morning hours throughout South Central Texas. So far, there have been more than 230 rescues, and there are more than 2,000 emergency responders working across the impacted areas.
Abbott and other officials stressed the need to stay off the road in the flooded areas. He confirmed that there have been two deaths as a result of the flood: a man near Comfort who was swept away in an RV and another a man in Uvalde who was swept away while driving on a road.
Chief Nim Kidd with the Texas Division of Emergency Management says more up to 15 inches of additional rain is expected in already flooded areas and new areas north and west of Kerrville.
Abbott said that while they aren't seeing the same type of flood like in Kerrville last year, he's making sure to keep in contact with the summer camps that are currently in session.
Abbott says Uvalde is the place that concerns him the most.
"If there's a community most at risk it would be Uvalde," Abbot said. "As well as Johnson City tonight, the people in that area need to be very cautious."
Chief Kidd said food and water will be delivered to parts of Uvalde that are currently cut off.
