More than 850 people rescued in last 36 hours
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott commended rescue workers who have saved over 850 people in the last 36 hours, including people who were “clinging to trees to save their lives,” he said.
“What has happened over the past 36 hours is really amazing when you look at what the local officials have done, working and collaborating with multiple state agencies as well as our federal partners,” Abbott said.
