At least two people are dead and more than 230 people have been rescued after flooding devastated parts of Texas.
Two deaths were reported in the Hill Country, where the flooding was described as catastrophic.
A Flash Flood Emergency was issued Thursday for areas along the Pedernales River in Gillespie and Blanco counties.
Bodycam footage showed a rescuer reach a family of three and their dogs sheltering in a destroyed house in Uvalde County and airlift a girl to safety, telling the rest of the family that another helicopter was on the way.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said more than 230 rescues had been made and that officials had deployed more than 85 boats, 20 aircraft and 200 high-profile vehicles to assist the response.
Abbott said one of those who died was swept away in a recreational vehicle in Kerrville. Uvalde police said a 74-year-old man was found bobbing in floodwater about four miles north of the city and was later confirmed dead.
The National Weather Service early Thursday issued a flash flood emergency for Kerrville, Ingram and Hunt and warned that "a large and deadly flood wave" was moving down the Guadalupe River. The river crested at 37.94 feet in Center Point, and a gauge in Comfort rose 25 feet in a single hour.
Some spots of the Guadalupe River rose by more than 30 feet.
More than 80 people were evacuated from riverside campgrounds, first responders cleared about 50 homes in flood-prone areas and all children's summer camps in Kerr County confirmed campers were safe. Videos and photographs showed water inundating streets, swallowing bridges and first responders plucking stranded residents from the current.
Officials said warning systems installed since last year's floods were activated in Kerr County before water levels began to rise. River Sentry has installed 105 flood-warning towers along the Guadalupe River, and the company's founder and CEO, Ian Cunningham, said the towers "intervened and saved lives." Kerrville Police Chief Jerel Haley said the community was "still reeling" from last year.
