Emergencias por inundaciones repentinas azotan el Hill Country de Texas, se registra una muerte

El Servicio Meteorológico Nacional y las autoridades de Texas declararon emergencias por inundaciones repentinas en el Hill Country, mientras lluvias torrenciales elevaron los ríos y causaron una muerte. A principios de la semana, el Centro de Predicción del Tiempo advirtió que una serie de tormentas traería lluvias intensas y un mayor riesgo de inundaciones rápidas en el Hill Country, la costa del Golfo y la región de Big Bend, según FOX Weather. El gobernador Greg Abbott activó entonces lanchas de rescate, helicópteros, unidades de la Guardia Nacional y personal de seguridad pública para el centro, oeste y este de Texas, citando pronósticos de hasta ocho pulgadas de lluvia, informó Chron. Posteriormente, el Servicio Meteorológico emitió una rara alerta de alto riesgo por lluvias excesivas, pronosticando hasta 20 pulgadas adicionales y advirtiendo sobre posibles inundaciones catastróficas, según The New York Times.

Las autoridades emitieron advertencias de inundación a lo largo de la carretera US 90 y en áreas del Hill Country mientras los ríos seguían subiendo, informó KSAT. Las emergencias declaradas provocaron evacuaciones, cierres de carreteras y operaciones de rescate en varios condados, reportó FOX Weather. ABC News señaló que la respuesta estatal incluyó rescates de residentes atrapados. CNN confirmó que al menos una persona falleció mientras las inundaciones se intensificaban.
