San Antonio Flood Death Toll Rises to 11

San Antonio, Texas, was hit by devastating flash floods after over seven inches of rain fell in a few hours, with the death toll rising to at least 11 and several people still missing. The rapid flooding swept vehicles off roads and into creeks, prompting more than 70 water rescues by first responders. Search efforts, now involving canine units and FEMA urban search and rescue teams, remain focused on creek beds and debris fields as water recedes. Victims reportedly range in age from 28 to 55, and families continue to search for missing loved ones. Officials have urged caution at low-water crossings and expressed condolences to affected families. Scientists note that climate change may be increasing the frequency and severity of such extreme weather events.
