Over the past three days, South Central Texas has received over 30 inches of rain, causing widespread flooding and leaving two people dead.
Rescuers have saved more than 200 people via boat and helicopter. As of July 17, the waters have begun to recede, and families and communities can now focus on recovery and rebuilding.
