Kerryville, Texas – Another potentially life-threatening flooding event took place across Central Texas on Sunday morning, with torrential rain sending rivers and streams above their banks, forcing officials to stop search efforts along the Guadalupe River that had been underway since a catastrophic and deadly flash flooding event over the Fourth of July holiday.
FOX Weather Correspondent Katie Byrne had been in Kerrville reporting on the disaster when her cellphone began to blare, warning people to move to higher ground.
"This is absolutely a punch to the gut for people here in Kerrville," Byrne said Sunday morning. "We are along the Guadalupe and we’re getting heavy downpours right now."
Byrne shared an image of the alert that was sent to cellphones across the region."They’re expecting the river to reach flood stage once again, a little over a week after catastrophic flooding here claimed the lives of 129 people across the state of Texas, many of them were young campers at Camp Mystic," Byrne said.
In Kerr County, which was hit hard by the historic and deadly flash flooding disaster over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, officials sent out a Code RED Alert, warning residents in the area of the potentially dangerous conditions through Sunday morning.
The sheriff’s office warned that excessive rainfall could lead to additional flash flooding across the southern Edwards Plateau and Hill Country.
In addition, officials warned that rapid river rises were possible along the Rio Grande, southern Edward Plateau and in Hill Country.
"If you live near the water, and it starts raining, get to higher ground," officials said in the Code Red Alert.
