Texas floods kill at least two, hundreds rescued near Camp Mystic region
A Department of Public Safety crew spotted the 74-year-old man's vehicle in floodwater about four miles north of Uvalde around 10:30 a.m. local time.
Governor Greg Abbott issued a major disaster declaration for 28 counties in the region on Friday.
More than 80 people were evacuated from riverside campgrounds before floodwater reached dangerous levels.
“But the priority was to get out. And we’re glad we did, because the people that got back immediately after that, maybe 20 minutes later, the water had risen maybe another 10 feet.”
