UVALDE, Texas \u2014 Catastrophic flooding in Texas after days of pounding rain forced authorities to rescue dozens of people from rising waters before sunrise Thursday while many more fled to higher ground across a region still recovering from devastating floods just a year ago.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service in San Antonio said a \u201clarge and deadly flood wave\u201d was barreling down the same river wrecked by floods last summer when two dozen children and counselors were killed at Camp Mystic.<\/p>\n

Forecasters urgently warned \u201cMove to higher ground now!\u201d as rivers rose hour by hour, turning them into fast-moving seas of white water.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate word of any deaths or injuries from the flooding. Several tornado warnings were also issued. The Texas Hill Country floods over the July Fourth holiday last year killed more than 100 people.<\/p>\n

The storms and flooding threatened multiple counties close to the border with Mexico and in the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio. City officials in Kerrville urged people to shelter at the highest levels of their homes.<\/p>\n

Images along a creek in Kerr County showed propane tanks that had been pushed onto a bridge and a mess of tangled trees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way into the city at this point in time. Rescues have been happening overnight,\u201d said Juli Alvarado, a spokesperson for Uvalde police. Multiple people trapped in vehicles were being rescued, she said.<\/p>\n
