‘Dangerous situation’: New flood warnings along Guadalupe River in Texas—
The latest round of flash flooding was receding in central Texas early Monday, but another round of storms forecast for later in the day could bring more hurt to a region slammed by killer flooding.
The National Weather Service warned that thunderstorms producing “excessive rainfall and potential flooding” were forecast Monday and Tuesday. A flood watch was in effect for more than a dozen counties. Among them: Kerr County, where more than 100 people were killed when the Guadalupe River roared over their banks on the Fourth of July.
Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches with isolated amounts of 3 to 5 inches are possible, the weather service said.
Cleanup from the flooding, delayed Sunday when a new round of storms swept through the area, is once again underway, officials in Kerr County said.
“Broken but unbowed. We remain proud Americans,” Gov. Greg Abbott said in a social media post that showed an American flag waving amid the destruction. “Thanks to people across the country for your outpouring of support.”
