TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — As floodwaters surge through Texas Hill Country, a swiftwater rescue team from Tallahassee is heading west to help.<\/p>\n
The City of Tallahassee Fire Department said FL-TF7 has been activated to deploy its Type 3 Swiftwater Team in support of response efforts in Texas. The department said teams from across Florida are also deploying to assist.<\/p>\n
Texas Hill Country is facing what the National Weather Service described as extremely dangerous flood conditions, warning that a \u201clarge and deadly flood wave\u201d is surging down the Guadalupe River. The area is the same region devastated by flooding a year ago that killed more than 130 people, including 25 young girls at Camp Mystic.<\/p>\n
Up to 20 inches of rain has soaked the ground in some areas, leading to dozens of water rescues. The region is under a flash flood emergency, the highest level of flood warning.<\/p>\n
Gov. Greg Abbott said at least one person has died due to the flooding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — As floodwaters surge through Texas Hill Country, a swiftwater rescue team from Tallahassee is heading…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342427,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-342426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342426\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
