4 Dead in Floods in Texas

At least four people have died following severe flash floods in San Antonio, Texas, as relentless heavy rains swept through the city on Friday, triggering chaos and widespread disruption.

According to city authorities, the deluge overwhelmed roads, swept away vehicles, and forced some residents to climb trees to escape rapidly rising waters. Emergency services carried out dozens of high-risk rescues as floodwaters surged across multiple neighborhoods.

All reported fatalities occurred in the city’s northeast sector, an area particularly hard hit by the flash flooding. Local fire crews responded swiftly to numerous emergency calls, with water rescue teams working around the clock to reach those trapped by the sudden torrents.

The extreme weather event underscores the growing threat of climate-related flooding in urban areas across the southern United States. Meteorologists warned of continued rainfall over the weekend, urging residents to avoid travel and remain vigilant in low-lying areas.

As clean-up and recovery efforts begin, Texas emergency officials continue to monitor river levels and issue alerts to minimize further loss of life and property damage.
