APTOPIX Extreme Weather Texas Floods

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says more than 40 people have been rescued from high waters as heavy downpours drenching South Texas continue to raise the risk of flash flooding. Most of the rescues have been in the Uvalde County area. The storms also spawned a tornado in San Antonio on Wednesday morning. The downpours began Tuesday. More than six million people in 57 counties were under a National Service flood watch, and in some areas flash flood warnings are in effect. In Kerr County, where last year flooding killed more than 100 people, officials say they're in contact with summer camps. There have been no reports of deaths or injuries.
