SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Major flash flooding struck San Antonio, Texas today, killing at least one person and sending floodwaters surging across streets, intersections, and infrastructure throughout the city. Video from the scene shows an intersection completely submerged with water levels high enough to cover road signs up to their midpoints, stop signs nearly hidden beneath the rushing brown floodwater, and street poles standing in what has become an open channel of fast-moving water where roads existed hours earlier. This is an active and ongoing life-threatening flood emergency.
