Another 30-year-old Giovani Olivas of Palestine was swept away by flood waters on a county road, NBCDFW reported.

Palestine Mayor Bob Herrington signed an emergency declaration at 1:30 p.m. mentioning that the City of Palestine has suffered the worst flooding event in his 59 years of living here.

“Total damage estimates will be developed in the near future and will be available to interested parties,” Bob Herrington said.

The United Way has approved $25,000 in funds to aid victims of the Palestine flooding. A GoFundMe page has also been set up for those that want to donate. All fees charged by the website will be reimbursed by United Way, according to the Palestine Herald-Press.

A temporary shelter has been set up in the police training room at Palestine Mall and the Red Cross. The Red Cross is helping 20 to 30 residents displaced by flooding in Palestine, Texas.
