KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Flash floods in Texas killed more than 100 people over the Fourth of July holiday weekend and left others still missing, including girls attending a summer camp. The devastation along the Guadalupe River, outside of San Antonio, has drawn a massive search effort as officials face questions over their preparedness and the speed of their initial actions.

Here’s what to know about the deadly flooding, the colossal weather system that drove it in and around Kerr County and ongoing efforts to identify victims.

Massive rain hit at just the wrong time, in a flood-prone place

The floods grew to their worst at the midpoint of a long holiday weekend when many people were asleep.

The Texas Hill Country in the central part of the state is naturally prone to flash flooding due to the dry dirt-packed areas where the soil lets rain skid along the surface of the landscape instead of soaking it up. Friday’s flash floods started with a particularly bad storm that dropped most of its 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain in the dark early morning hours.

After a flood watch notice midday Thursday, the National Weather Service office issued an urgent warning around 4 a.m. that raised the potential of catastrophic damage and a severe threat to human life. By at least 5:20 a.m., some in the Kerrville City area say water levels were getting alarmingly high. The massive rain flowing down hills sent rushing water into the Guadalupe River, causing it to rise 26 feet (8 meters) in just 45 minutes.

Death toll is expected to rise and the number of missing is uncertain

In Kerr County, home to youth camps in the Texas Hill Country, searchers have found the bodies of 84 people, including 28 children, Sheriff Larry Leitha said Monday afternoon. Fatalities in nearby counties brought the total number of deaths as of Monday afternoon to at least 104.

Ten girls and a counselor were still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the river.

If this situation occurred in my country, many people(they know themselves) would have directed their anger and accusations towards the president. It's a tragic reality, but we all face our mortality eventually. Rest in peace to all those who have passed.

Water is respecter of nobody

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is truly a tragic event, as nature continues on its inevitable path.

This is quite unfortunate May their soul rest in peace!

over 100 people thats massive GOD help us amennnnn

This is devastating. May God console the families of victims.

O Lord save us in Nigeria from this kind of disaster

It's a pity. May God help to bring solace and comfort to the bereaved.

Rip to the dead.

This reminds me of a Nigerian proverb which says "An elephant that swims in coconut oil can never use ATM to buy meat from the Pharmacy" 🥹

If this should happened in Nigeria, the coalition would have used it to attack the Mr president by now.

Rip to the departed, another reminder natural disaster can happen anywhere

Oh... no migrants to clean up the mess.

Trump is busy persecuting people who came to seek their daily bread to better their lives. How do white people think and yet they tell us we are going to the same heaven?!

Funny. Very funny!!

Nature can be very brutal....May God help us all. All is well

If this should happened in Nigeria, the coalition would have used it to attack the Mr president by now.....

Nature can be very brutal....


Remember this?

Politicising everything all in the name of clout chasing

And you think they were not attacking there government too? I

Oh… Natural disaster causing so much havoc abroad…
but if it’s here in Nigeria, especially Lagos . Ordinary flooded roads , the thread will be filled with mockery comments.

RIP to the dead …

You want to use flood to compare hundreds of people being massacred in Benue and your Tinubu canceled his visit because of bad roads when helicopter is available.

May the soul of the departed find peace.

Trump is a bad president. The Governor of Texas is a failure. Like Nigeria, Like USA.

Flooding is a sign of failure of the President and the Governor. Like APC, Like Republican Party

Food done ready for the dense.......

People talk in this con3 all in the name of playing politics with the victims as if flood is something one can totally eradicate from any country’s disaster. You can’t even predict when the next flooding will happen. Rip to the dead

It's very unfortunate that it started late in the night when people.are sleeping and thinking its the normal rain fall

If u noticed, no opposition leader have disgraced usa for this disaster as it's normal, let it happen in either southwest or northern Nigeria and see one man dance naked on th street but if it happen in south east, he be deaf and dumb.

John 10:10. The devil is the one killing people.
Going about causing sorrows, don't patronise him, it doesn't end well.

Trump and the Republican party do not believe in science.

They don't believe in Global warming.

In addition, Trunp and by extension the Republicans do not believe in the Federal government spending money on agencies that could warn or mitigate the risks.

NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration launches weather balloons several times a day.
These weather balloons can help to predict precipitation and by how much.

Trump decided to cut their budget using DOGE.

FEMA helps to provide relief when disasters strike, Trump is well known for withholding funds and has said FEMA should be the responsibility of the States.

Rest in peace to the deceased.

My heart goes out to those affected.

But the truth must be told.

I wonder for some people o, cos i read it somewhere and Trump got partly blamed. so its not just a Nigerian thing to blame the head.
