What we know:

Fire crews responded to a call for a vehicle trapped in floodwaters on County Road in Rancho Encino.

During that rescue, firefighters received another call for a swift water rescue on Puccini Lane for another vehicle that was trapped.

Both drivers were saved.

The flooding in the area forced many roads to close and Uvalde CISD canceled bus drop-off in Rancho Encino and Deer Valley.

Estimated rain totals from the National Weather Service show parts of Uvalde receiving 2 to 4 inches of rain from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday morning.
