In Uvalde County, more than 10 inches of rain fell Thursday on top of the showers of the last few days, according to the KSAT Weather Authority team.
The excessive rainfall caused the Farm-to-Market 481 Bridge above the Nueces River to collapse, Texas Department of Public Safety footage shows.
A shelter-in-place was issued for Uvalde County on Thursday, though it has since been lifted. The excessive showers caused all major highways and many streets to close.
