At least 11 confirmed dead in San Antonio flooding, with unknown number still missing

At least 11 people are confirmed dead in late-spring flooding in San Antonio, and search efforts are still underway for an undetermined number, city officials said Friday

At least 11 people are confirmed dead in late-spring flooding in San Antonio, and search efforts are still underway for an undetermined number, city officials said Friday.

Flooding slammed the city early Thursday after thunderstorms churned out by an upper-level trough swept east through Texas and produced two confirmed tornadoes, the National Weather Service said.

Earlier statements on those believed to be missing indicate the number is roughly three after the confirmation of 11 dead.

"Several individuals remain unaccounted for," the San Antonio Fire Department said in a statement Friday afternoon.

A search effort that includes help from the San Antonio Police Department and Texas A&M Task Force 1, one of 28 national search and rescue teams organized under the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is focusing on areas of Salado Creek, near Perrin Beitel Road, and Leon Creek, the fire department said.
