The Texas Hill Country has been notorious for flash floods caused by the Guadalupe River. Here's why the area is called "Flash Flood Alley."

Walston drove from his home to the Center Point Bridge on FM 480 near Highway 27, where he shot video of the river below. He recorded nearly 38 minutes of surging water as it rose over 20 feet, carrying massive cypress trees, debris and even a house.

The organizations working together to help the flood victims said that 'no additional in-kind donations (clothing, food, supplies) are needed in Kerrville.' They said the best way to help is with monetary donations.

Plans to develop a flood monitoring system in the Texas county hit hardest by deadly floods were scheduled to begin only a few weeks later.

On July 10, 2025, CBS News confirmed that over 170 people were missing at that time. Sadly, the number of casualties is surging, too. On Friday, X user Molly Ploofkins (@Mollyploofkins) shared an image of a vehicle stuck under the debris of the Texas flood.

Officials in Texas are facing questions about whether they did enough to get people out of harm's way before a flash flood swept down the Guadalupe River and killed at least 120 people, including more than two dozen children and counselors at an all-girls Christian camp.

Well, it could take months for Texas families to experience some form of closure as more than 170 people remain missing, nearly a week after those deadly floodwaters rushed in the Texas Hill Country on July 4 as four months of rain fell in just two days over central Texas.

In the Texas Hill Country, as the search for loved ones lost to the Guadalupe River ends, the search for their belongings begins.
