YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In Texas, at least two people have been killed in severe flooding that's affecting central and southern parts of that state.

Surging waters have turned streets into rivers in some areas. Authorities say more than 70 people have been rescued in recent days.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has issued disaster declarations for nearly 60 counties across the state and said on Thursday that he's deploying resources to address the continued flooding.

The National Weather Service is warning of what it calls a deadly flood wave along the Guadalupe River in Texas Hill Country that runs along Camp Mystic, where flooding last year led to the deaths of more than two dozen people, most of them young campers.
