FLOODS devastated communities in Central Texas (WIkipedia).

More rain is expected – along with potential flash flooding – in the Hill Country of Central Texas.

According to United Press International, the emerging weather front is resulting in calling off the search for bodies.

So far the flooding that overflowed the banks of the Guadalupe River killed at least 129 people with 160 still unaccounted-for.

Forecasters say there’s 30 to 40 percent chance of another five inches of rain in the area over the next 24 hours.

Although the rain is not expected to be as severe as last week, the ground is saturated with water, making the chance of flash floods still present.
