Texas flooding: Hundreds evacuated, search for victims suspended

Heavy rains flooded parts of Texas again on Sunday, temporarily halting a weeklong search for missing people after devastating flooding on the Guadalupe River on July 4. At least 132 people were killed and up to 170 are missing, including 160 in Kerr County alone.

Kerrville officials were door-to-door Sunday night, issuing flood alerts for more flooding. The search was not resumed until daylight, but about 100 homes in San Saba County were damaged, with fences and roads damaged. Residents were evacuated to a local aid center.

Gov. Greg Abbott said rescuers have evacuated dozens of people in San Saba, Lampassas and Schleicher counties. Shelters have also been opened in Sonora and other cities.

A slow-moving storm system has caused rivers to rise sharply. In McGregor, rescuers pulled a man off a flooded bridge. In Kerrville, locals are helping each other: clearing debris, monitoring water levels.

Camp Mystic lost at least 27 people. The flooding was much worse than expected, and occurred at night, when warning systems failed.
