In Texas, severe flooding has resulted in two confirmed deaths, with over 230 people rescued by emergency services. Governor Greg Abbott warned that life-threatening floods remain the main risk into the night and early morning. The situation is particularly dangerous in Uvalde and Johnson City, west of Austin, where the Nueces River is expected to exceed a 30-year high. Abbott compared the river's flow to twice that of Niagara Falls. According to the National Weather Service, life-threatening floods could occur in dozens of counties across western Texas through Friday. Abbott urged residents not to underestimate the danger, emphasizing that driving on flooded roads, even if they appear safe, poses a significant risk. This event is described as a historic flood, similar to devastating floods last summer that claimed more than 100 lives and left at least 161 people missing. Authorities were previously criticized for ineffective warning systems.
