A new round of severe thunderstorms drenched southeast Texas on Thursday morning, closing schools and forcing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to declared a state of disaster across 31 counties.
At least two dozen streets were closed, including a stretch of Interstate 35 in San Antonio early Thursday. At least two high water rescues were conducted, one near Lackland Air Force Base, according to the National Weather Service.
Heavy rain was falling at a rate of up to 3 inches per hour, said weather.com meteorologist Jonathan Erdman, leading to more flash flooding.
Combined with emergency spillway releases from Medina Lake, a flood wave was expected to move down the Medina River from swollen Medina Lake Thursday morning, potentially impacting property near Castroville, Texas, about 25 miles west-southwest of downtown San Antonio.
We woke up to winds strong enough to be rocking the rig. When I went out this morning, I noticed all the tables and chairs strewn about. Our chair was way out in the lane. The pic below is standing right beside my door to enter. And there is the chair, had to weigh at least 40 lbs.
