The official tally of storm-related deaths across Texas rose to 131 on Monday as authorities warned of yet another round of heavy rains 10 days after a Hill Country flash flood that transformed the Guadalupe River into a killer torrent.

The death toll has now climbed to at least 132, making it America's deadliest rainfall-driven flash flood since 1976.

KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Rescue crews in Texas kept a wary eye on river levels Monday, hoping to resume the search for people still missing from catastrophic flooding that pummeled the central part of the state earlier this month and killed at least 132 people.

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

Investigators suspended the search for missing people in the aftermath of flooding in Texas last week amid a level 3 alert for more potential floods as forecasters predict heavy rain through Monday.
