Shock has turned to grief across Texas as the death toll from devastating flash floods reached 120, with over 170 people still missing, mostly in Kerr County.
Nearly a week after the disaster struck, search efforts continue along rivers and rubble-strewn areas, reflecting the scale of the tragedy in Hill Country.
Community Mourning
A growing memorial in Hill Country features photos, flowers, and candles along a fence, honoring victims including three friends celebrating the July Fourth weekend, 8-year-old sisters from a summer camp, and a 91-year-old grandmother known for her wit.
Nearly 100 bodies have been recovered in Kerr County alone, though the exact number of missing remains fluid as authorities refine their lists.
Desperate Escapes
The floods’ sudden ferocity forced harrowing escapes, with one woman describing how she and others, including a toddler, fled to an attic and then a roof, hearing screams as vehicles floated by. Images and videos of these moments underscore the chaos and urgency faced by residents.
Ongoing Efforts
With searches ongoing, officials caution that the toll may shift as more information emerges.
The methodical recovery process highlights both the disaster’s impact and the challenges of pinpointing the missing amid the destruction.
