Central Texas Flooding

Water levels at two reservoirs are at a seven-year high after recent flooding.

Experts, officials and residents say the slower pace of the rainfall — over several days instead of hours — combined with new sirens and increased vigilance helped save lives this year.

The storms killed at least two people and prompted disaster declarations covering dozens of counties.

Historic floodwaters inundated Uvalde and neighboring communities last week. Now, residents already familiar with tragedy say they're coping the only way they know how: by helping each other out.

Warmer air holds more water. When that air encounters the right weather conditions, bigger storms emerge.

Residents are now taking stock of the damage after a historic storm wreaked havoc across the Hill Country and South Central Texas. Some of the worst-hit areas include Uvalde and Zavala counties.

About a year ago, the Guadalupe River destroyed their RV park, where a family was swept away by the raging water.

A 65-year-old Kerrville man is dead after floodwaters swept away his mobile home.

At least two people died after extreme flooding hit the Hill Country late Wednesday into Thursday morning.

Communities across San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country are beginning to respond after heavy rains caused dangerous flooding, evacuations and damage across the region.

Camp La Jita, a Girl Scouts camp in Uvalde County, evacuated their camp earlier this week. Others say they are monitoring the weather and preparing to enact safety plans.

This week's floods came just after the anniversary of some of the worst flooding in state history.
