Emergency crews have suspended their search for victims of catastrophic flooding in central Texas amid new warnings that additional rain will again cause waterways to surge.
A week after Central Texas flash floods, organizers urge volunteers to register with relief groups — not “self-deploy” — as search and rescue operations continue.
Search-and-rescue teams have been searching for missing victims of the July 4 weekend flooding that killed at least 129 people and left more than 170 missing.
As the National Weather Service (NWS) issued fresh flash flood warnings for Texas on Sunday, emergency crews were forced to suspend their operations
NEAR LENANDER, Tx. ( WALA) - Alabama Task Force One, or AL-TF1, posted on its Facebook page Saturday that crews have begun work in flood ravaged parts of Texas. AL-TF1, along with state partners Saraland Fire and Tuscaloosa Fire (AL-TF5), continues its efforts to traverse the Big Sandy Creek area near Leander, TX.
Another round of heavy rains is drenching central Texas with “life-threatening flash flooding,” according to the National Weather Service, forcing first responders in Kerrville to suspend search-and-rescue operations looking for the remaining missing after the deadly floods that took place last week.
The Coast Guard team aboard Rescue 6553 saved nearly 200 people trapped by the deadly floods in Texas this past week.
The Austin, Texas, fire chief is being accused of denying requests to send rescuers to Kerrville days before the catastrophic flooding — because of an $800,000 dispute with the state government.
