Noble County K-9 Team Recovers Victims in the Texas Flooding
KERR COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 15 – At least 107 people died and 97 remain missing after Kerr County rejected a weather warning system, worsening the impact of Fourth of July weekend floods, officials said.
- Jack Stradinger completed a 100-mile run between Monday evening and Tuesday evening to support victims of recent catastrophic flooding in Kerr County, Texas.
- The run was motivated by devastating floods that killed over 130 people and left about 97 missing, with Kerr County officials reporting 161 missing last week before later revisions.
- Stradinger, who had no months of training and previous long runs capped at 40 miles, nearly collapsed during his effort but said witnessing local suffering drove his perseverance.
- Officials awarded $1.9 million in grants to local hospitals for repairs and staffing, and state lawmakers will investigate emergency response at a special session later this month.
- The run raised awareness and funds with a $20,000 goal, while Kerrville continues recovery amid flood watches and community efforts to provide safety and resilience for affected families.
