On Monday, the staff was expected to resume in search of devastating flood victims in Texas, killing at least 132 people when high rains temporarily stopped their search and rescue works.
The efforts were stopped on Sunday, along with the Gwadalpe River, when a new period of severe weather resulted in more water saving and fears that the waterways could once again grow over their banks.
It was the first time that efforts were made to search for the fourth flood victims due to severe weather. Authorities believe that more than 160 people can go missing in Kerr County alone, and 10 more in neighboring areas.
In Kerr Ville, where local officials were properly warned about rising water on the morning of July 4, whether the residents were properly warned, authorities went home for some homes after midnight on Sunday, informed people that floods were possible again. Authorities also pushed people in the area a phone alert.
During the interval of the searches, officials of the Angram Fire Department ordered the staff to immediately evacuate the Gwadalpe River Corridor in Kerry County, and warned that the flash flood capacity was high.
At the end of Sunday afternoon, the office of Kerr County Sheriff announced that search teams could resume their efforts in the western part of the county. Agency spokesman Brian Lachtete said the Angram Fire Department will resume its search and rescue efforts on Monday morning.

Government Greg Abbott said on the X that the state saved dozens of people in San Saba, Lampasas and Sheleture Counties, and that the evacuation was taking place in a handful of others.
Ashley Johnson, CEO of the Hill Country Community Action Association, said that Ashley Johnson, CEO of the Hill Country Community Action Association, said the latest period of floods damaged about 100 houses and leased livestock fence.
“What you can imagine in any rural community has been harmed,” he said. “Our blessing is that it was a daylight and we knew it was coming.”
Johnson said that with more rains along the way, county officials ordered the evacuation of everyone living in the flooded areas near the San Saba River, and people moved to San Saba Civic Center.
A widespread seasonal system receives heavy rainfall
The seasonal system slowly triggered more than one round of storms and heavy rainfall in a wide area, and pushed the rivers and rivers to its edge.
Due to the rains, the water lanes in Texas were spreading further to the north, where emergency staff rescued a motorcycle that was trapped in a high rapids on the bridge over the river Basque.
“He enrolled in it and did not realize how deep it was,” said Jeff Douglas, president of the McGregor Volunteer Fire Department.

Kerwel residents have the support of police, warnings
Under the heavy rains, Matthew Stone cleared the branches of the log from the storm gutter in front of his house on Gadalp Street in Caroli on Sunday and several inches on the road.
The July 4 floods had a severe impact on several houses on the road watching the Gwadalpe River. Stone said he was feeling safe for now.
“Policemen are coming back and forth, we are getting a lot of alerts, we are getting a lot of help,” he said.
Houses and vehicles were washing houses and vehicles by adding 26 feet (8 meters) to the Gadalpe River, just before the day’s break on July 4. Ever since, searches have used helicopters, boats and drones to search the victims.
Floods destroyed the area of Texas mountainous country. Holidays in the Banks and Mountains of Kerr County are full of cabin, youth camps and camp grounds, including Camp Sufian, centuries -old, All -Girls Christian Summer Camp.
A region known as Flash Flood Eli is located in a low -lying area along the Gwadalpe River, the camp was lost to at least 27 camps and advisers.
Experts say the flood was much tough than the 100 -year event considered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and moved so quickly in the middle of the night that it caught many guards in a county, lacking a warning system.
