New flash flooding hit parts of Kerr County, Texas on Sunday, just nine days after the same region saw devastating floods that left 129 dead.
“Life-threatening flash flooding” struck Kerr and Gillespie Counties, as rainfall rates were expected to reach 1 to 2 inches per hour.
A “considerable” flash flood warning is in place and alerts should have been sent to all phones in the area, according to the National Weather Service.
Areas afflicted include places devastated by last week’s flooding, such as Hunt and Kerrville, home to Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ summer camp where 27 cameras and counselors lost their lives.
The search for the more than 170 people still missing was forced to be suspended on Sunday in the face of the heavy rain.
“We will provide more information soon but for now, all search crews need to evacuate the river corridor until further notice,” the Kerrville Police Department said in a statement on Sunday.
