San Antonio hit by floods as heavy rains sweep Texas
Emergency crews stand by while North Texas floods close roads and evacuations spread from Stephenville to San Antonio. Dozens of roads blocked, park under water, and a river overflows as lakes and water courses rise. A 5 year old boy is feared dead and a Fort Hood soldier drowns in the same storm system. Hospitals and campuses shut down as weather officials warn of more rain and continued risk of runoff.
