Texas Governor Greg Abbott confirmed on Friday that a third death has resulted from this month's devastating floods. 1 The disaster has sparked more than 500 rescue operations across the state, destroying homes and commercial structures while rendering some areas impassable. 1
The Nueces River reached major flood stage at 29 feet and has begun to recede, though officials warn of continued danger downstream. 1 Abbott cautioned that "anyone living, working, commuting or just walking around areas downstream of the Nueces needs to be aware of possible dangers." 1 The most recent fatality occurred on Monday when a driver attempting to cross floodwaters was swept away. 1
The scope of the emergency is reflected in the governor's disaster declaration covering 59 counties, with 33 counties having submitted federal disaster assistance requests. 1 The flooding was triggered by Tropical Storm Bertha, which made landfall on Thursday. 1
