Emergency responders continue to search for missing people and local police said efforts have been slowed by "sightseers who are making things worse."

Officials said more than 850 people had been rescued after a sudden storm dumped up to 15 inches of rain across the region.

Katheryn Eads was among the victims of the tragic flooding. She was a psychology senior lecturer at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Professor Eads joined UTSA in 2022 and became a full-time faculty member in the Department of Psychology in the College for Health, Community and Policy this year, according to UTSA.
