The National Weather Service in the US State of Texas announced on Tuesday that additional heavy rainfall and flooding are expected to impact the Houston area and the State's coastline in the coming hours.Meanwhile, rescue teams continue their search for a 10-year-old girl who was swept away by rapidly rising floodwaters in the city of Brenham.Overnight, the area saw extensive search operations using drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras in an effort to locate the missing child.The Weather Service also warned of a new wave of strong currents and flooding along the Gulf Coast, particularly during periods of high tide, urging residents to exercise caution and adhere to safety guidelines.Since the beginning of the month, Texas – particularly areas stretching from Houston to the Gulf Coast – has been experiencing a series of severe weather events driven by an active low-pressure system. The extreme conditions have brought heavy rainfall and flash floods, causing rivers and waterways to overflow, disrupting traffic, and forcing hundreds of families in low-lying areas to evacuate their homes.
