The death toll from flash flooding that overwhelmed the San Antonio region rose to 11 after six more bodies were recovered following heavy rain that inundated the area, the authorities said on Friday.

Several people remained missing around two creeks in the city, the city’s Fire Department said.

The authorities said that canine units and a Texas-based Federal Emergency Management Agency task force that specializes in urban search and rescue were helping in the searches.

The teams were “conducting detailed ground searches across creek beds, low-water crossings and debris fields,” the city said.

Five people were reported killed on Thursday but more bodies were recovered as search efforts continued.

At least three of the 11 dead, two men and a woman, were publicly identified as of Friday afternoon, according to the medical examiner for Bexar County.

The San Antonio Police Department was investigating the deaths and identifying next of kin, the city said.
