3 People Are Still Missing from the Deadly July 4th Floods in Kerr County TX

This is down from nearly 100 last week

• On July 19, the Kerr County Flood Disaster Joint Information Center announced the missing count dropped from at least 97 to three, marking a sharp decline from over 160 unaccounted.

• In Kerr County’s Hill Country, historic flooding overwhelmed the Guadalupe River’s banks predawn July 4, and the Hill Country’s dry, dirt-packed soil hindered absorption, intensifying the surge.

• Volunteer support surged, Gov. Greg Abbott reported 135 flood deaths, including 116 in Kerr County, and more than 12,000 volunteers bolstered search efforts on July 17.

• Verification work by Kerr County teams confirmed many initially listed as missing as safe, and over 2,000 local, state, and federal personnel joined the recovery effort.

• Two weeks after the July 4 floods, recovery operations continue across the Guadalupe River watershed, with multilevel teams working to reunite families.
