A chain-link fence that separates Water Street in the center of Kerrville from the Guadalupe River just a few hundred feet away has become a makeshift memorial, with the flower-covered stretch serving as a focal point for a grieving community.

Here's what to know about the deadly flooding, the colossal weather system that drove it and ongoing efforts to identify victims.

Kerrville residents react to President Trump’s visit after the devastating floods, saying his presence brought comfort, unity and hope to their grieving Texas town.

Eight-year-old girls at sleep-away camp, families crammed into recreational vehicles, local residents traveling to or from work. These are some of the victims.

As tears streamed down their faces, community members looked at the photos attached to a growing memorial wall.

"It’s hard to believe the devastation," Trump said. "Trees that are 100 years old just ripped out of the ground. I've never seen anything like this, and I've seen a lot of bad ones."

Kerrville residents who turned out in force Friday to welcome President Donald Trump said his visit brought hope and comfort — and marked an important step in the town’s long road to healing and rebuilding.
