Torrential downpours are still in the forecast for parts of Texas into Friday evening, continuing a life-threatening flash flooding risk that has already turned deadly this week.

Rivers Surge to Dangerous Levels

At least two people have died and hundreds have been rescued from floodwaters, according to National Public Radio. From 1 to 2 feet of rain has fallen from the Big Bend region along the Rio Grande to the Texas Hill Country just north and west of San Antonio as of Friday morning, repeatedly sending rivers, including the Guadalupe, into a rampage.
