Texas flash flood threat prompts evacuations throughout state

Evacuations are underway in central Texas north of Austin because of flash flooding.

According to the Williamson County Emergency Services, Shady River and Good Water RV Parks are being evacuated.

“If you are in these areas, evacuate immediately to higher ground. Do not drive through flooded roadways,” emergency services said.

Several roads in Georgetown, Texas, are closed due to flooding, according to ATXFloods, which monitors flooding-related road closures in real time.

The San Gabriel River runs through Williamson County.

A temporary shelter is open in Georgetown for those needing a place to evacuate.

Showers are continuing to sweep across parts of the drought-stricken Southern Plains and Southeast.

Over 9 inches of rain was reported on Monday just north of San Antonio due to trailing, slow-moving storms.

Other locations generally saw around 3 to 5 inches.

San Antonio recorded 4.42 inches of rain, which is the third-wettest April day on record.

An additional inch or two of rain is likely.
