Swiftly rising floodwaters in Texas have killed at least four people and left communities reeling as the search continues for dozens of missing residents, including children from a summer camp. At least 51 people are dead statewide as of July 6, 2025, with Kerr County witnessing the most deaths.

The deadly floods that struck Texas on the 4th of July caught local officials off guard as the torrential rains caused the Guadalupe River to overflow in minutes.

A catastrophic and deadly flooding disaster devastated portions of central Texas over the past few days. More rain is in the forecast that will not only raise fears of additional flooding in Texas, but it could impact search and rescue operations across the region.
