Summary
Uvalde County reported 25 rescues by 9 a.m. Wednesday as fast-rising rivers pushed first responders into the county’s north.
A river gauge above the Leona River near Uvalde showed a 20-foot wall of water and was expected to rise another 15 feet, prompting police to urge residents along the river to move to higher ground.
Boerne, north of San Antonio, remained under a National Weather Service flood emergency after up to 12 inches of rain fell, with more forecast.
Main Street in Boerne was inundated and high-water rescues were underway, extending a broader Hill Country emergency that had already forced evacuations and road closures.
