US EditionTexas governor says more than 160 people are still missing after deadly floods
TEXAS HILL COUNTRY, JUL 8 – The floods surpassed Hurricane Harvey's Texas death toll, with 87 fatalities in Kerr County and 161 people still missing, including campers from Camp Mystic, officials said.
- Deadly flash floods struck central Texas over the July 4 weekend, causing at least 109 confirmed deaths and leaving 161 people missing.
- The floods followed heavy rainfall predicted days earlier, with the National Weather Service issuing multiple warnings starting July 3 based on radar and model data.
- Kerr County, especially Kerrville, suffered the worst impacts as the Guadalupe River rose rapidly, prompting flash flood emergencies and a catastrophic flood wave.
- Radar detected as much as 18 inches of rainfall in Mason County, while a gauge in Hunt showed the river level increasing by 22 feet within a two-hour span before the gauge failed at 29.5 feet. Lieutenant Colonel Ben Baker described the operations as very hazardous and slow-moving.
- The disaster transformed Kerrville into a disaster zone with ongoing rescue efforts and political debate over whether National Weather Service staffing cuts delayed warnings.
