Texas, Flash Flood and Guadalupe River
Digest more
New flood warnings have been issued along the Guadalupe River in Texas less than two weeks after flooding killed more than 100 people.
Another potentially life-threatening flooding event took place across Central Texas on Sunday morning, with torrential rain sending rivers and streams above their banks, forcing officials to stop search efforts along the Guadalupe River that had been underway since a catastrophic and deadly flash flooding event over the Fourth of July holiday.
Rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches and isolated amounts of 3-5 inches are possible, the National Weather Service said.
By all accounts, forecasters provided adequate warning — the problem was communicating the danger to residents.
With more than 170 still missing, communities must reconcile how to pick up the pieces around a waterway that remains both a wellspring and a looming menace.
The threats come amid public scrutiny over whether more could have been done ahead of the July 4 storm, which has claimed at least 132 lives.
