Less than 5% of homes in the county's FEMA floodplain had flood coverage, well below the national average. Uptake was even worse in other areas that flooded.

BEAUMONT, Texas — In the wake of devastating floods that swept through the Texas Hill Country over the July 4 weekend, a small but powerful symbol of remembrance has emerged from the wreckage: a piece of childhood artwork by Aidan Heartfield, the 22-year-old Beaumont man who was recovered after the tragedy.

As the water rises, so does the Kerr County community, especially one man who reunited a brother and sister, swept away in the flood.

Commissioners in Kerr County, Texas, are set to meet Monday in their first official court hearing since more than 100 people in the county, including children and counselors at a summer camp, were killed in catastrophic flooding last week.

A Kerrville-area river authority executed a contract for a flood warning system that would have been used to help with emergency response, local officials said.

The questions about a flood warning system before the deadly Central Texas floods continue. Some are shining the spotlight on a 2021 public meeting where county leaders debated whether to take $10 million from the Biden Administration, but what people are saying online and what actually happened are not the same.

As a deadly "flood wave" swept through Kerr County, Texas, on the Fourth of July, miles and miles of damage were left behind.

As the search for victims continues, county officials say "additional resources" are being deployed as the "mission efforts become more technical."

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says there have now been 135 deaths statewide from flooding on July 4, including 116 people in Kerr County.

At least 161 are still unaccounted for after the July Fourth floods that saw the waters of the Guadalupe rise to historic levels in Central Texas, officials with Kerr County said Friday. Authorities have confirmed 103 deaths, 36 of whom are children.

Search and rescue teams continue to look for missing persons weeks after July 4th floods in Texas.
