Some cities in Texas have seen more than 20 inches of rain since Monday.
Slow-moving storms have repeatedly drenched large parts of the state, culminating in multiple flash flood emergencies.
That's a rare designation from the National Weather Service for potentially historic, life-threatening floods.
Nim Kidd with the Texas Division of Emergency Management said the impact of the storms is hard to predict.
This week's flooding comes a little more than a year after the devastating July 4th weekend flood swept Texas, killing over 130 people.
For NPR News, I'm Chelsea Zhu in Austin.
The major flooding we've seen has been a culmination of several days of very heavy rain across large parts of Texas, especially the south-central region.
Some storms have been slow-moving, dropping heavy rain in some of the same areas that have already seen a lot of rain in the days before, which has made flooding more likely.
Some towns have seen as much as 20 inches of rain or more since the start of the week.
Your heart starts beating super fast.
You get super excited.
