South Texas is trying to dry out after severe thunderstorms flooded streets, forced the closure of an airport and had authorities conducting more than 50 water rescues as many drivers were forced to abandon their vehicles on roadways and parking lots.

The region has endured severe thunderstorms since Wednesday, with some parts of the Rio Grande Valley seeing half a year’s worth of rain in a span of 48 hours.

At least three people have died due to severe storms in South Texas this week as rescues were still ongoing Friday.
