Texas Floods Claim Lives and Homes | Miami News

Texas is in crisis as catastrophic flooding sweeps through southern and central regions, dumping over a trillion gallons of rain—enough to fill a million Olympic pools—in just three days. With more than two feet of rain in some areas, rescuers have pulled over 570 people from flooded homes and roads, including two fatalities. Flash floods are especially deadly in the Hill Country, where limestone terrain causes water to surge rapidly. Residents recount near-disasters, including being nearly swept away, while businesses like a boutique are wiped out by four-foot floods. Major highways, including U.S. Highway 57, remain closed for days, with recovery efforts underway as communities brace for long-term damage and recall last year’s deadly floods.
