As heavy rains led to heartbreaking losses at a Texas girls camp, other parts of the state were swamped over the July 4 weekend.

Multiple parts of Central Texas, including Kerr County, were shocked by flash floods Friday when the Guadalupe River and others rose rapidly.

Heavy rain poured over parts of central Texas, dumping more than a month's worth of rain for places like San Angelo.

Meteorologists say the Texas Hill Country is frequently hit with floods, although some officials and residents were caught off guard by the catastrophic storms, which killed more than 100 people over the holiday weekend.

Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr. criticized state officials for poor communication during devastating Central Texas floods.

Also: San Antonio mourned the victims in a Travis Park vigil; UTSA said one of its teachers died in the Guadalupe River flood; Kerrville officials said a privately owned drone collided with a helicopter conducting search and rescue operations.

At least 120 people, including more than two dozen children, died in the torrential downpour. Many remain missing in the hardest-hit county.

The deadly flooding in central Texas has stunned the nation, but this isn't the first time this region has seen devastating floods. Here's a breakdown of the area's history.

The record of frequent, often deadly floods in Central Texas goes back more than 200 years to July 1819, when floodwaters spilled into the major plazas of San Antonio. That city on the edge of the Hill Country was hit by major floods again in 1913, 1921, 1998 and 2025, to cite a few examples.

At least 111 people have been killed and a further 173 are still missing after catastrophic flash flooding swept through Central Texas. Officials fear that the death toll could soar as search and rescue efforts entered their sixth day Wednesday, as hundreds of local, state and federal emergency responders sifted through debris for survivors.

Amid the tragedy of recent flash floods in central Texas, conspiracy theories about "cloud seeding" practices have gained traction on social media, fueled by prominent U.S. political figures.

A Texas official said no person has been rescued alive from flood damage since Friday. This comes as the number of people missing remains above 150 and as questions remain about the emergency alerts preceding the catastrophic event.
