Historic and catastrophic flooding among the Guadalupe, Frio, San Gabriel, and other rivers in Texas has devastated the Texas Hill Country, Hunt, Austin, and Georgetown and surrounding areas in Texas following torrential rains during July 3-4, 2025 weekend. More than 15 inches of rain fell within a few hours in the Texas Hill Country and central Texas region, causing the Guadalupe River and others to rise over 26 feet, sweeping through summer camps, homes, recreational vehicle parks, neighborhoods, roads and highways without adequate warning.
As of July 8, Kerr County officials have confirmed 96 fatalities, including 27 children and staff members from Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, as well as 161 individuals still unaccounted for. This marks one of the deadliest flooding events in Texas in nearly 50 years.
