Central Texas flood
SHARE

On Saturday, July 5, 2025, a desperate search continued for about two dozen people still missing after the flash flood swept through a century-old Christian girls’ camp in central Texas.

At least 24 people lost their lives in the flash flood, which began at the start of the U.S. Independence Day weekend and led to the rescue of hundreds of others.

On Saturday, authorities said floodwaters were receding around the Guadalupe River, about 85 miles (137 km) northwest of San Antonio, where at least 237 people were rescued, with more than 100 by helicopters.

About 25 people, most of them reported to be young girls, were still missing from the Camp Mystic summer camp. Near the camp, the river water rose rapidly to 29 feet.

The U.S. National Weather Service said the flash flood emergency has largely passed for areas of Kerr County in south-central Texas Hill Country, about 65 miles (105 kilometers) northwest of San Antonio, after thunderstorms dumped up to a foot of rain early Friday.

 A flood watch remains in force for the San Antonio-Austin, Texas, region until 7 p.m. on Saturday, with scattered showers predicted throughout the day, according to Allison Santorelli, a meteorologist at the NWS Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.

When questioned about federal aid for the tragedy, President Donald Trump responded on Friday, “We’ll take care of them.”

Dalton Rice, city manager of Kerrville, the county seat, told reporters on Friday that the significant flooding occurred before dawn with little or no warning, preventing authorities from issuing advance evacuation orders as the Guadalupe River rapidly climbed over major flood level.

Rice said, “This happened very quickly, over a very short period of time that could not be predicted, even with radar.” “This happened within less than a two-hour span.”

On Thursday, state emergency management authorities warned that west and central Texas would experience severe rainfall and flash floods “over the next couple of days,” citing National Weather Service forecasts ahead of the holiday weekend.

The weather projections, however, “did not predict the amount of rain that we saw,” said W. Nim Kidd, director of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, at a news conference on Friday evening.
