Heavy Rains Cause Flooding in Texas, More Storms Expected
US · Published Jul 15, 2026
South Texas has been hit by heavy rains, causing significant flooding and disruption.
On Tuesday, storms dumped up to a foot of rain in rural areas, leading to dozens of high-water rescues and the closure of major highways near Uvalde, located 80 miles west of San Antonio.

Impact & Risks

The ongoing and forecasted heavy rains pose a severe risk of flash flooding, particularly in areas already saturated. Communities near the Mexico border and west of San Antonio are at high risk. Infrastructure, including highways, has been disrupted, and residents face potential displacement. While no injuries or fatalities have been reported so far, the situation remains precarious, with the possibility of catastrophic flooding if rains persist. Emergency services are stretched thin, and further storms could worsen the crisis.
