More than 1,000 first responders from across the country are helping with search efforts to bring loved ones home to their families.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said search and rescue efforts continue after the deadly floods in Central Texas as crews work to remove debris from roads and bridges. The governor said search parties still include many out-of-state volunteers and dog teams.

A flood watch is in effect into July 15 for more than a dozen counties as saturated ground gets drenched again.
