Kerrville is recovering from significant flooding, but the aftermath is tragic. The Guadalupe River overflowed, resulting in 82 deaths, with 28 children among the victims. Rescue teams are actively searching for survivors and victims in Louise Hays Park, where chaos remains, including debris and destroyed vehicles. Local residents experience grief, particularly as many missing were from a summer camp. Despite police barriers, people still come to the area to remember those lost as the city begins to stabilize post-disaster.
In the city of Kerrville, the rain is no longer pouring down, but the sky still looks leaden. The sun comes out intermittently. Life is slowly returning to normal.
Local authorities have reported 82 deaths so far, including 28 children, in the city and Kerr County. Many of the victims were kids spending a few days at Camp Mystic.
Rescue crews continue to search for people, whether dead or alive, among the downed trees. The Guadalupe River burst its banks early Friday, leaving a path of unprecedented destruction.
