$OM #TexasFlood
On the morning of July 4, 2025, catastrophic flooding hit Kerr County, Texas, after the Guadalupe River rapidly surged to 34 feet, reaching its second-highest level in history—surpassing the deadly 1987 flood.
Torrential rain, with 7 to 10 inches falling overnight, triggered flash floods that swept through towns like Kerrville, Ingram, Center Point, Hunt, and Comfort. Homes and businesses were submerged, vehicles washed away, and rescue crews had to pull people from rooftops.
Authorities have confirmed multiple deaths, and mass evacuations are ongoing. Officials are calling this a "catastrophic" natural disaster, and it's part of a larger pattern of extreme weather events affecting the U.S. this summer.
