Storms kill at least 4 in Texas–Mexico border floods

Severe storms have brought deadly floods to the Texas–Mexico border, killing at least four people and forcing hundreds into shelters.

At least four people have died following severe storms along the U.S.–Mexico border where intense rainfall has triggered widespread flooding.

The heavy downpours caused lagoons and creeks to overflow, worsening conditions in several areas. In the past two days, the region has received more than half a year’s worth of rainfall.

Local authorities have opened shelters for displaced residents, while rescue operations continue to reach people trapped in their homes.

On the U.S. side, schools have been closed as thunderstorms dumped 10 to 15 inches of rain across parts of Texas under flash flood warnings.

In Mexico, officials confirmed the death of an 83-year-old man who drowned. More than 690 people have been rescued, according to Mexico’s Civil Protection Coordination.
