Heavy rain and a new wave of flooding in central Texas on Sunday prompted swift water rescues and hampered the grim search for victims of the deluge that swept through the region more than a week ago, killing over 100 people and leaving devastation in its wake.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said water rescues were taking place in San Saba, Lampasas and Schleicher counties, and evacuations were ordered in several communities as well. "We are expanding operations in all affected counties − all while monitoring the rising waters in Kerrville," he said on X.

All search and recovery operations along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County were suspended. Rescue personnel, equipment and vehicles "should be removed from the river area immediately," county officials said in social media posts earlier Sunday. It warned that up to 2-4 inches of rain an hour could fall. "Safety of lives is the highest priority.".............

∎ The Kerr County Sheriff's Office issued a "Code Red" message Sunday. "This is not an evacuation, but a preparation notification," the sheriff's office said in the social media post. "Be prepared to evacuate along the Guadalupe River due to bad weather and flooding."............
