KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Emergency crews suspended their search for victims of catastrophic flooding in central Texas on Sunday morning amid new warnings that additional rain would again cause waterways to surge. It was the first time a new round of severe weather has paused the search since the flooding earlier this month.

Investigators suspended the search for missing people in the aftermath of flooding in Texas last week amid a level 3 alert for more potential floods as forecasters predict heavy rain through Monday.

While fascist Governor Greg Abbott sidestepped involvement in the announcement, local officials informed the public on Sunday that rescue personnel, equipment, and vehicles were being removed from the area immediately in response to urgent warnings from meteorologists and local authorities about the imminent threat posed by renewed storms.
