At least 1 person has died as Texas flooding forces evacuations and high-water rescues, Abbott says

Texas flooding has resulted in at least one death, forced evacuations, and prompted high-water rescues as rivers overflowed, with residents fleeing to higher ground. The National Weather Service warned of a 'large and deadly flood wave,' and over 1,300 personnel have rescued more than 70 people. This follows similar catastrophic floods in the Texas Hill Country a year earlier that killed over 100 people.
