Flooding struck Texas before dawn on 4 July, sweeping through communities and Camp Mystic, where 750 girls were attending a summer program. The sudden surge caught many by surprise, despite prior warnings.
Kerr County officials confirmed 27 deaths, including 18 adults and 9 children. Local leader Rob Kelly described the valley as "the most dangerous river valley in the United States," highlighting the force and unpredictability of the water.
Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster and promised unlimited resources for search and rescue operations. President Trump called the tragedy "shocking" and pledged full federal support.
Nearly 240 people have been rescued or evacuated so far, many lifted out by helicopter as waters continued to rise. The risk of further flooding remains high due to ongoing rain forecasts, keeping emergency teams on high alert.
Authorities said they had no reason to expect the flood would be so severe, despite earlier alerts. Families continue to search desperately for loved ones, as rescue crews work around the clock in dangerous conditions.
