Central Texas braces for more rain after deadly floods; officials warn of renewed flash flood risk in already saturated areas. Newsweek's live blog is closed.

National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for the areas of Central Texas hit most by the deadly flooding over Fourth of July weekend.

Officials in Texas are facing mounting questions about whether they did enough to get people out of harm’s way before a flash flood swept down the Guadalupe River and killed more than 100 people, including at least 27 children and counselors at an all-girls Christian camp.

Catastrophic flooding struck central Texas on Friday as the Guadalupe River surged by more than 20 to 26 feet within 90 minutes, causing widespread devastation and forcing mass evacuations in Texas Hill Country. At least 80 people have been killed in the floods while others remain missing or displaced and more than 850 people required rescuing.

In what experts call "Flash Flood Alley," the terrain reacts quickly to rainfall steep slopes, rocky ground, and narrow riverbeds leave little time for warning.

Florida lacks the hilly topography that supercharged torrential rain into deadly inundations in Central Texas over the July Fourth weekend, but a host of factors make the Sunshine State the most flood-prone of any other.

Cleanup and recovery efforts are ongoing in the wake of deadly flooding that caused significant damage in several communities across Texas’ Hill Country, and drone video offered a unique perspective on the scope of the disaster.

The claim circulated as rescuers searched for people missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River.

While cleaning up from the flood, stay hydrated and safe to avoid falls, cuts, snake bites and toxic water injuries.
