Texas flood death toll hits 50 as search intensifies

  • Flash floods struck the Guadalupe River area about 70 miles west of San Antonio in the early hours of July 4, 2025, killing at least 50 people and leaving dozens missing.
  • Heavy rainfall overwhelmed the river, which rose from 3 to 34 feet in about 90 minutes, causing destructive surges that swept away homes, vehicles, and summer camps including Camp Mystic.
  • Search and rescue teams deploy helicopters, boats, and drones to find survivors and recover bodies, with 43 deceased recovered in Kerr County where most losses occurred and 27 girls still unaccounted for.
  • Kerr County sheriff Leitha reported 28 adults and 15 children dead, while officials and families confirmed some missing girls' deaths, and rescuers pledged to continue until all are found.
  • The event highlights increasing flood risks in Texas, where warming climate conditions may lead to more intense rainfalls, while officials face scrutiny over warnings and emergency preparedness.
