Dozens of people have died after heavy rain pounded Kerr County, Texas, early Friday, leading to deadly and "catastrophic" flooding.

Authorities said at least 24 people have died in flooding around Kerr County, Texas, and officials are still performing water rescues.

As in Friday’s flooding, in 1987, five to 10 inches of rain fell in the upper headwaters of the Guadalupe River basin. In Hunt, Texas, where the Guadalupe River forks, over seven inches had fallen since Thursday afternoon, which was the highest total at the site since the early 1990s.
