This part of Texas Hill Country is known for flash floods. Why were so many people caught off guard when the river turned violent?

Search crews continued the grueling task of recovering the missing as more potential flash flooding threatened Texas Hill Country.

Former Kansas City Chiefs star Priest Holmes coordinated a major relief effort for flood victims in Kerrville, Texas.

Another potentially life-threatening flooding event took place across Central Texas on Sunday morning, with torrential rain sending rivers and streams above their banks, forcing officials to stop search efforts along the Guadalupe River that had been underway since a catastrophic and deadly flash flooding event over the Fourth of July holiday.

KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — More heavy rains in Texas on Sunday temporarily paused a weeklong search for victims of catastrophic flooding along the Guadalupe River and led to high-water rescues elsewhere as officials warned that the downpours could again cause waterways to surge.

At least 161 are still unaccounted for after the July Fourth floods that saw the waters of the Guadalupe rise to historic levels in Central Texas, officials with Kerr County said Friday. Authorities have confirmed 103 deaths, 36 of whom are children.

A study puts the spotlight on Texas as the leading U.S. state by far for flood-related deaths, with more than 1,000 of them from 1959 to 2019.
