Record-Breaking Floods Devastate Southern Texas, Triggering Mass Water Rescues
Southern Texas is reeling from an unprecedented wave of flash floods that have shattered rainfall records dating back to 1911. Cities like Rio Hondo and San Benito have been particularly hard-hit, with floodwaters inundating homes and businesses, prompting urgent water rescue operations across the region.
According to CNN, the sudden deluge has overwhelmed local infrastructure, leading to widespread evacuations and a significant strain on emergency services. The extreme weather event has left roads impassable and forced residents to seek higher ground, with many needing to be rescued from rooftops and stranded vehicles.
ABC News reports that the flooding has been described as 'extreme' and 'record-breaking,' with rainfall totals surpassing historical benchmarks. Local news outlets, such as ValleyCentral and myRGV, have documented the devastation in the Rio Grande Valley, where the storms have caused unprecedented disruption.
As the region grapples with the aftermath, authorities are urging residents to stay safe and heed evacuation orders. The National Weather Service continues to monitor the situation closely, warning of potential further flooding as the storm system moves through the area.
