The Texas Hill Country has been notorious for flash floods caused by the Guadalupe River. Here's why the area is called "Flash Flood Alley."

The dammed reservoirs along the Guadalupe River near Kerrville are believed to have captured debris washed downstream.

With more than 170 still missing, communities must reconcile how to pick up the pieces around a waterway that remains both a wellspring and a looming menace.

In what experts call "Flash Flood Alley," the terrain reacts quickly to rainfall steep slopes, rocky ground, and narrow riverbeds leave little time for warning.

A washed-out Guadalupe River appeared stuck in time nearly two weeks after the catastrophe. Large trees laid on their sides and remnants of debris lingered throughout what was left. Some residents of the area say it's unlike anything they've seen in the river before.

The groups also want lawmakers to examine land-use practices and consider ways to protect natural resources, which they say will in turn help protect lives.

Plans to develop a flood monitoring system in the Texas county hit hardest by deadly floods were scheduled to begin only a few weeks later.

Texas flash flood wasn't the only deadly event in the Hill Country. Here's what happened 38 years ago along the Guadalupe River.

A group of Kerrville Independent School District bus drivers went straight into danger to rescue the stranded children.

The last time Lindsey McLeod McCrory saw her daughter Blakely alive, the young girl was heading to camp wearing a simple yet profound necklace – one that would later reconnect Blakely to her mother after she died.

People on social media are sharing dramatic videos of rushing flood waters as if they're footage of the deadly July 2025 flooding. They're not.
