Floodwaters overran the city of Uvalde, Texas overnight, cutting off access to surrounding areas. Rescue crews rescued at least one child from floodwaters.
The kid had on his snorkel, mask and life jacket :)

It's terrifying how quickly the water levels rose in Uvalde. I'm glad the rescue crews were able to get that child to safety, but I wonder if the local infrastructure is actually equipped for storms of this scale now, or if these surges are becoming the new normal for the area?

Seeing those rescue crews pull that child to safety is a massive win. Absolute legends for getting in there before the water rose any further. It looks devastating out there—does anyone have boots on the ground in Uvalde who can tell us how the roads are holding up?
