Severe Flooding and Storms Impact Texas Amid Ongoing Rescue Operations

Heavy rains and flooding continue to affect Houston and the Texas coastline as search teams look for a missing child.
The National Weather Service in Texas has issued warnings as heavy rains and flooding forecasted to affect Houston and the state's coastline in the coming hours.

This comes amid ongoing rescue efforts after a 10-year-old girl was swept away by rapidly rising floodwaters in Brenham, Texas.

Rescue teams have been conducting extensive searches using drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras to locate the missing child.

The weather service has cautioned of a new wave of strong currents and flooding risks along the Gulf Coast, especially during high tide periods, urging residents to exercise caution and follow safety instructions.

Texas has been experiencing a series of severe weather events since the beginning of the month, particularly in areas stretching from Houston to the coast, due to an active low-pressure system.

The inclement weather has resulted in heavy rainfall and flash flooding, causing water levels in numerous rivers and waterways to rise significantly.

Traffic has been disrupted across the region, and many families have been forced to evacuate their homes in low-lying areas due to the hazardous conditions.
