Search-and-rescue operations along the Guadalupe River were halted Sunday after a new round of heavy rain led to more high-water rescues and prompted fears that waterways could surge again above their banks.

More than 2,000 people from multiple agencies were assisting the effort in Kerr County, Sheriff Larry Leitha said.

More than 130 people are dead after devastating flooding in the Texas Hill Country that began early on the Fourth of July.
