Rescue workers in San Antonio, Texas, are searching for four missing individuals following sudden and severe flooding that has claimed the lives of at least eleven people. The disaster was triggered by an intense storm that caused vehicles to be swept off roads, with some drivers ending up in a nearby river.
Three of the deceased have been identified, all of whom were trapped in their cars in an area that was rapidly inundated by floodwaters. Emergency services responded to over 70 distress calls, rescuing ten people, four of whom required hospitalization for minor injuries.
The San Antonio Fire Department anticipates that rescue and cleanup operations will continue for several days as the region grapples with the aftermath of the storm. Authorities have urged residents to avoid flooded areas and remain vigilant for further weather warnings.
