Flash Flood Alley Claims Lives in San Antonio After Torrential Rain

San Antonio authorities confirmed that two adults were found dead in Salado Creek Monday, the tragic result of flooding triggered by heavy overnight rain.

The victims, believed to be friends and possibly homeless, were swept away by rising waters and discovered downstream. A third person previously reported missing was later found safe, and officials say no foul play is suspected at this time.

Worsening Situation in Flash Flood Alley

San Antonio reaffirms its place within Flash Flood Alley — a stretch of Central Texas that includes Bexar County and remains one of the most flood-prone areas in the U.S. 

Storms poured in over the weekend, dumping rainfall at rates fast enough to rapidly swell creeks and urban waterways. It’s a reminder that just a few inches of rain can turn streets into life-threatening torrents, especially on saturated ground.
