  • Severe flooding struck Kerr County, Texas on July 4, 2025, causing at least 24 deaths and more than 20 campers missing from Camp Mystic in Hunt.
  • Heavy rainfall began Thursday night and continued into early Friday, causing the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in 45 minutes and triggering flash flood emergencies.
  • Rescue operations mobilized nine teams with 400 to 500 personnel and 14 helicopters, evacuating campers to a school in Ingram while families remained missing, including at Kerrville campgrounds.
  • Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, acting as governor, said about 20 children were unaccounted for but 'aren't necessarily lost,' and officials urged residents to shelter in place due to ongoing flood threats.
  • The floods resulted in extensive destruction, leading survivors and families to urge the implementation of improved alert systems, emphasizing that the presence of flood sirens might prevent future fatalities.
