Texas emergency officials ordered fresh evacuations on Sunday after the National Weather Service warned that a new surge of floodwater is racing down the Guadalupe River toward Kerrville and Ingram. A flash-flood warning, issued at 3:17 p.m. Central Time and in force until 6:30 p.m., urges residents to move to higher ground immediately.

Forecasters say the incoming flow could raise river levels by up to two feet, compounding dangers in low-lying areas already saturated by days of heavy rain. “If you’re in a low-lying area, move out now,” state Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd said, noting that the fast-moving water could arrive with little warning and hamper ongoing rescue operations.

The region is still reeling from catastrophic floods that began on 4 July. Authorities report at least 80 confirmed deaths across five counties, 68 of them in Kerr County. Search teams continue to look for 27 girls missing from Camp Mystic, a river-side summer camp swept by the earlier floodwaters.

Governor Greg Abbott has directed state agencies to prioritise rescue and relief efforts, while President Donald Trump on Sunday approved a major-disaster declaration for Kerr County, unlocking federal assistance. Schools and community centres have been converted into shelters as officials brace for further rainfall over the next 24 to 48 hours.
