Authorities in the state of Texas have announced that in the coming hours, the Houston area and surrounding regions are expecting new heavy rains and flooding. Search teams continue to look for a 10-year-old girl who was swept away by fast-moving waters during the flooding in the town of Brenham.
Last night, the area was subject to intense scanning using drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras in an attempt to find the girl.
Meteorologists warned of a new wave of strong storms and flooding extending along the Texas Gulf Coast, especially during times of high tides and low tides, urging residents to be cautious and follow safety instructions.
Since the beginning of the current month, areas in Texas, particularly from Houston to the coast, have experienced a series of severe weather conditions due to active low pressure, which led to heavy rains and sudden flooding. As a result, elevated water levels in rivers and streams disrupted transport movement, and hundreds of families were forced to evacuate their homes in inundated areas.
