Texas 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, especially Kerr County, around July 4, 2025, causing massive damage and at least 109 confirmed deaths.
  • The floods resulted from heavy rains predicted days earlier, with warnings issued by the National Weather Service based on radar and model data starting June 30, 2025.
  • Multiple flash flood warnings and emergencies covered Kerr County and nearby areas, with rainfall totals approaching 10 inches and the Guadalupe River peaking at 34 feet.
  • Governor Greg Abbott reported 161 people still missing after the floods, including five children and one counselor from Camp Mystic, where 27 deaths occurred, while rescue efforts remain difficult and ongoing.
  • The disaster transformed Kerrville into a crisis zone, raising questions about emergency preparedness and prompting calls for investigating whether NWS staffing cuts affected warning effectiveness.
