The July 4 Texas floods, caused by heavy rainfall, resulted in significant damage across several counties, with Tom Green, Travis, Williamson, Burnet, and Kerr being the most affected. The Hill Country in Central Texas is particularly vulnerable to severe flooding, a phenomenon intensified by the region's steep topography. The slow-moving storm system caused intense rainfall, leading to rapid rises in Guadalupe River levels. Cleanup and rebuilding efforts are anticipated to be difficult, with damage estimates ranging from $18 billion to $22 billion, and a notable lack of flood insurance in affected areas further complicates the situation.
At least 38,600 residential structures were within the flood zone during the July 4 Texas floods, with Tom Green, Travis, Williamson, Burnet, and Kerr counties having the highest number of potentially impacted properties.
The cleanup and rebuilding process post-flooding is expected to be challenging, with preliminary estimates suggesting total damages and economic losses ranging from $18 billion to $22 billion.
