Eight-year-old girls at sleep-away camp, families crammed into recreational vehicles, local residents traveling to or from work. These are some of the victims.

The early warnings and alerts from the National Weather Service didn’t indicate a catastrophic flood was on its way.

Flood Warnings are in effect for many Texas rivers following heavy rains over the last couple of weeks. The NWS is reminding everyone to turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads as most flood deaths occur in vehicles.
