How searchers are agonizingly scouring for Texas flood victims, including children – and absorbing an emotional toll

KERR COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 10 – Historic flash flooding along the Guadalupe River killed over 120 people and left 160 missing, with search teams from the US and Mexico continuing recovery efforts.

  • A week after Texas flood deaths exceed 120, search teams from the US and Mexico continue tirelessly amid challenging debris along the Guadalupe River.
  • Record rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to surge 26 feet in under an hour, resulting in Texas's deadliest flood in over a century and swift destruction, then receded within days.
  • Ground crews, including volunteers from the US and Mexico, used helicopters, drones, boats, dogs, and mules to search, recovering bodies such as an infant on Wednesday, with over 160 still missing as of July 10.
  • Meanwhile, first responders and search dogs face extreme emotional trauma as hardened mud and silt complicate recovery efforts, intensifying their physical and mental strain.
  • Governor Greg Abbott has scheduled a July 21 legislative session to address flood response, as search efforts along the Guadalupe River may take weeks and officials emphasize the need for improved disaster preparedness.
