Deadly storms ripped through Texas and New Jersey, leaving multiple people dead and others missing. Flash floods hammered central Texas early Friday morning, forcing officials to declare emergencies across Hill Country and Concho Valley areas. New Jersey got hit hard Thursday night when thunderstorms and heavy rain killed three residents. Rescue teams have been working around the clock to save trapped victims from the rising waters. Emergency crews continue searching for missing people as more dangerous weather approaches both states.
Texas authorities confirmed deaths and missing persons after catastrophic flooding struck Kerr County. The sheriff's office reported the worst flooding they have seen, with fast-moving water sweeping through communities near San Antonio. Governor Greg Abbott promised to send all available resources to help Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt and surrounding areas recover from the disaster. Pictures show bridges completely underwater and torrents of water racing down neighborhood streets. Officials warned residents near creeks, streams and the Guadalupe River to move to higher ground immediately.
New Jersey lost three people when trees crashed down during the severe storm. Two men aged 79 and 25 died after a tree crushed their car in Plainfield. A 44-year-old woman also died when another tree fell on her vehicle in North Plainfield. Plainfield Mayor Adrian Mapp called the tragedy a sobering reminder of nature's power. The storms forced the city to cancel its planned Independence Day parade and fireworks celebration.
