With nearly a trillion gallons dumped in just three days, and Uvalde County receiving more rain than California did in a month, the region’s shallow soil and steep terrain are turning deadly. Two deaths have already been confirmed, and residents are trapped on rooftops and in trees as drones and helicopters scramble for rescue. Unlike last year’s single, devastating surge, this is a relentless, multi-day deluge that’s testing emergency response. While rain intensity may be less extreme, the total volume is higher—and experts warn that climate change is making these slow-moving, moisture-laden storms more frequent. Last year’s tragedy, which claimed over 100 lives, did raise awareness, but with storms often striking at night, the danger remains all too real.
