Flood sirens blared early Thursday, July 16th, 2026, in Comfort, Texas, as the Guadalupe River rose more than 30 feet within three hours, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. This sudden surge has raised concerns about flooding in the region.

The current storm system has the potential to bring even more rainfall than last year's deadly Fourth of July floods, which severely impacted South Central Texas. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as residents remain on alert.
