Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

At least two people have died in Central Texas flooding after torrential rain triggered flash floods, Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday: a man near Comfort and a woman in Uvalde. More than 20 inches of rain fell in parts of Texas, and flash flood emergencies were issued for Kerr and Uvalde counties as the Guadalupe River and nearby creeks rose rapidly. State officials reported more than 80 rescues and urged residents to avoid floodwaters and move to higher ground. The flooding hit the same region where Guadalupe River floods killed more than 130 people last summer, including Camp Mystic campers and counselors.
