    "Another day of pounding rain across Texas has led to flash flood warnings, perilous river levels and a scramble of evacuations as emergency responders rushed to rescue people from quickly rising waters.

    "In the city of #UvaldeTX, the seat of Uvalde County, Commissioner Roy Coachman said that as of 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday there were 25 rescues throughout the county as river levels continue to rise.

    " 'First responders are actively rescuing in the northern part of Uvalde County,' he told a news conference.

    "The Uvalde Police Department said a dam in the northern part of the county was still intact, but the river gauge upstream of the #LeonaRiver, above Uvalde, is registering a 20-foot wall of water. 'It is expected to rise another 15 feet,' the police said.

    " 'If you live along the Leona River, we ask that you get to higher ground,' the police said.

    "In #BoerneTX, north of San Antonio, the National Weather Service declared a flood emergency on Wednesday and said up to 12 inches of rain had fallen in the Hill Country city, with more on the way.

    "Chris Shadrock, Boerne’s communications director, said water had enveloped the city’s Main Street. High water rescues were taking place in the city, which has a population of 12,314.

    " 'This is a life threatening weather event,' he said on the city’s social media page. 'We are seeing flood conditions that we have not seen since 2015.'

    "The American Red Cross said on Wednesday that there had been dozens of water rescues in southern parts of Texas, where heavy rain had already inundated populated areas with up to 16 inches of rain. The precipitation was expected to last through Friday,

    "The #Pecos, #RioGrande, #Nueces, #Frio, #Medina and San Antonio rivers could all flood, it said. The areas at greatest risk include all or parts of Medina, Frio, Uvalde, Kinney, #Maverick, #Zavala, #ValVerde, Edwards, Real and #Bandera counties, it said."
