Firefighters responded to 65 water rescues between midnight and 8 a.m. Four individuals rescued from the same area where the fatalities occurred were hospitalized with injuries. Some people sought refuge from the rising waters by climbing trees, according to fire department spokesperson Woody Woodward.
The National Weather Service reported that over 7 inches of rain fell in some parts of the San Antonio area due to slow-moving showers and thunderstorms. Meteorologist Eric Platt noted that while the rain had subsided by midmorning, saturated ground conditions could still lead to further flooding.

Search and rescue teams are continuing their efforts to locate the missing individuals. Residents are urged to remain cautious as the ground remains saturated and further rainfall could cause additional flooding.
