A FRESH threat of devastating flash floods has cropped up in Texas just days after rushing waters claimed the lives of 82 people.
Dozens of missing people still haven’t been found since deadly rains washed over the Guadalupe River outside San Antonio over the July 4th holiday weekend.
At least 28 kids are among those killed by the floods which first broke out at summer camps near the river in the middle of the night.
Twenty-seven girls and counselors at Camp Mystic died in the weekend floods after the river swelled over 20 feet in less than two hours.
And at least 41 people are still missing, sparking an urgent search by rescuers.
Now, officials are warning locals to brace for another impact as “more heavy rainfall” is expected, Governor Greg Abbott said.
The governor said they aren’t expecting anything “to the magnitude of what was seen in Kerrville” but said there’s still a threat of more flash flooding events.

Texas faces fresh flooding threat
Texas Governor Greg Abbott warned suffering Texans that more rainy weather could bring fresh floods.
He said “more heavy rainfall” is expected at a news conference Sunday, and that already-soaked areas are most at risk.
The governor warned that people “need to realize, for one, you’re in an area with land that’s already saturated with water.
“But for another, when more water comes down, it could lead to rapid flash flooding events.”
