Quotes:
"Throughout the region, low-lying areas were under several feet of
water, forcing officials to shut down parts of more than 100 roads. Dry
creek beds were transformed into boiling, brown torrents carrying trees,
household appliances and debris downstream.
Gov. Rick Perry activated the Texas National Guard to assist with
response to a storm system that has dumped more than 15 inches of rain
in some places. The state Division of Emergency Management estimated
that heavy rains were affecting 29 counties surrounding San Antonio.
Up to a foot of rain fell at a rate of 3 to 4 inches per hour on Uvalde
and Real counties.
In San Antonio, more than 100 roads were under water at one point
Tuesday afternoon, including main lanes of U.S. 281 north of downtown
and U.S. 90 to the west."
