Flooding From the Rio Grande River Hits Texas

The Rio Grande flood, exacerbated by Hurricane Beulah, devastated South Texas and parts of Mexico, causing widespread homelessness and over $1 billion in damages. With a death toll exceeding 40, emergency relief centers were overwhelmed. The flood destroyed farmlands and citrus crops, leading to South Texas seeking federal disaster designation. Although the floodwaters have receded, recovery will take months, marking this as one of the worst floods of the 20th century.
