UVALDE, Texas \u2014 Emergency crews have rescued 24 people from floodwaters in Uvalde as heavy rain continues to impact the area, prompting officials to warn residents that conditions are expected to worsen Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

According to the Uvalde Police Department, those rescued from high-water areas have been relocated to a temporary shelter at the William R. Mitchell Uvalde County Fairplex, which remains open for residents displaced by flooding or seeking a safe place to stay.<\/p>\n

Officials said city, county, state and federal agencies have been working throughout the day to monitor conditions, conduct rescues and respond to road closures.<\/p>\n

Police said additional rainfall is expected Tuesday evening, which could worsen flooding because the ground is already heavily saturated.<\/p>\n

Authorities warned residents to expect localized roadway flooding and rising rivers, creeks and drainage systems overnight. Residents living near waterways are urged to remain vigilant as water levels continue to rise.<\/p>\n

Officials said there are currently no active water rescues and confirmed all dams in Uvalde County are functioning properly.<\/p>\n

Several roads that were closed earlier in the day have since reopened, including State Highway 127, Garner Field Road, U.S. Highway 90 near East Main Street and U.S. Highway 83 North. However, officials cautioned that road conditions could change quickly as additional rain moves through the area.<\/p>\n

The Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Department of Public Safety and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are assisting with flood response operations.<\/p>\n

Officials continue to urge residents to avoid unnecessary travel and keep roadways clear for emergency responders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UVALDE, Texas \u2014 Emergency crews have rescued 24 people from floodwaters in Uvalde as heavy rain continues to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373747,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-373746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
