Hidalgo County drainage crews are out helping get any remaining floodwaters out of homes and streets in the Mid-Valley.

Another storm has flooded Snowy Limas' childhood home in Weslaco. She was hit in both the June 2018 and 2019 floods.

Water created muddy puddles on the floor.

"There were several pick-ups that were passing him by and throwing all the water," Limas said.

Thousands of Mid-Valley residents were seeing water inside their homes going into Friday.

"We're here for you, I am sorry that this is happening to you all, but we're doing everything we can to move those waters out from your houses," Mercedes Mayor Oscar Montoya said.

Mid-Valley mayors held a press conference, reassuring people that they're using pumps and working with the county to get water out of flooded areas.

Mercedes was hit with nearly 20 inches of rain.

"Just to quantify, it is a 100-year storm, so what does that mean? That means that it's a hurricane type of rain that we received," Hidalgo County Drainage District No. 1 Director Raul Sesin said.

Sesin said it's been difficult for his crews to reach some canals clogged with debris because of muddy conditions.

Meanwhile, Hidalgo County Commissioner Precinct 1 Commissioner David Fuentes says his crews will be helping cities out with clearing out flooded streets with mo-vacs and pumps.

Clean-up efforts will continue through the weekend. County officials are hoping to get emergency funds from the governor in order to pay for more resources as they recover from flood-related damages.

The public is being asked to avoid flooded roads, and to report any storm damage online to the state.
