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

KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Emergency crews suspended their search for victims of catastrophic flooding in central Texas on Sunday morning amid new warnings that additional rain would again cause waterways to surge. It was the first time a new round of severe weather has paused the search since the flooding earlier this month.

Authorities believe more than 160 people may still be missing in Kerr County alone, and 10 more in neighboring areas.
