Want to Help Those Affected by TX Guadalupe Floods (Hill Country)?
This will be updated as more sources become known
KERR COUNTY, Texas – Kerr County officials said many local and state agencies are “working around the clock” to rescue survivors and reunite families after severe flooding in the Hill Country Friday and Saturday.
Hundreds of people were rescued and more than two dozen people were killed after a storm unleashed nearly a foot of rain along Highway 39 along the Guadalupe River west of Kerrville before dawn on Friday.
That amount of rain in a short period of time sent floodwaters gushing through Kerr and Kendall Counties.
While the Canyon Lake dam kept that water from rushing downstream through New Braunfels and Seguin, a slow-moving storm brought more rain to Comal, Guadalupe, and northern Bexar counties on Saturday, causing flooding along the Guadalupe River south of Canyon Lake.
