KERR COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 09 – Search and rescue continue after floods that killed at least 95 people, with over 160 still missing, as officials coordinate a large-scale recovery effort in Kerr County.
- An off-duty Texas police officer used a garden hose to rescue two people clinging to a tree during catastrophic floods in the Texas Hill Country region in early July 2025.
- The floods, driven by over 25 feet rises of the Guadalupe River in under an hour, caused widespread destruction, with more than 115 confirmed deaths and over 170 missing, including at Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp.
- First responders and volunteers are working nonstop across Kerr County, with over 2,100 people involved in search and recovery amid snapped trees, debris, and flooded homes while residents demand accountability and timeline updates.
- Gov. Greg Abbott pledged to continue efforts until everyone is accounted for and stated the state will fund improved warning systems, while President Trump promised relief support and plans to visit Texas on Friday.
- These floods rank as the deadliest inland floods in the U.S. since 1976, signaling urgent needs for enhanced emergency communications and recovery efforts in flood-prone areas.
