At least one person has died in flooding across central Texas – the same area that saw more than 130 deaths in flash floods last summer.

“Large and deadly” flooding from the Guadalupe River is expected to ravage the region, following days of torrential rain, the National Weather Service in San Antonio reported. Last year’s flash floods originated from the same river.

Early Thursday morning, emergency officials were encouraging residents in the area to evacuate.

More than 130 people died in last summer’s floods, including 25 children and two counsellors at Camp Mystic, an all-girls camp near Kerrville, Texas, located along the river.

Authorities rescued dozens of people on Thursday morning as river waters continued to rise, the Associated Press reported.

“CATASTROPHIC flooding is occurring. Move to higher ground now! Guadalupe River is rapidly rising and will continue!”‘ The National weather Service in San Antonio posted on X, at 94:39 EST.

The Guadalupe River rose 32 feet (975 cm) in four hours according to the Texas Tribune. The flooding affected multiple counties in South Texas, including Uvalde, Kerr and Kendall.
