The National Weather Service (NWS) says more storms are heading toward South-Central Texas. As of Thursday, July 16, at 9 a.m., several parts of the region, mainly west of San Antonio, are experiencing major flooding. Forecasters say some major cities could see an additional 15 inches of rain through Friday.
The agency’s San Antonio/Austin Office said in a post on X.com at 9:15 a.m. that Flash Flood Emergencies remain in effect across parts of Uvalde, Kerr, Kendall, Gillespie and Blanco counties.
“Residents in these warnings: Take immediate action to save your life!” the agency wrote.
Avoid driving if possible. Never attempt to drive or walk through floodwaters. Moving or standing water “hides a multitude of active, invisible dangers that can lead to serious sickness, injury, or even death,” according to meteorologists on the NWS website.
Residents in Kerrville and Uvalde — two areas that have seen evacuations in select parts of town — shared photos they captured of flooding with MySA. Images show river waters covering tall trees, wet debris scattered across drivable bridges and ponding in neighborhood streets.
