Deadly flash floods hit parts of Texas in the early morning of July Fourth, where the Guadalupe River rose nearly 28 feet. A mother, who has a vacation home in the area, reflects on the terrifying morning. Over 20 young girls are still missing from a sleepaway camp, and the death toll has risen to 27.
A nasty pairing of deep, tropical moisture, the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry and a stuck low pressure system led to up to 20 inches of rain near Austin and San Angelo, Texas. This water rapidly filled the Guadalupe River near Kerrville and killed at least 27 people.
Parts of Texas have seen deadly flash flooding, and more rain is still to come. A flood watch is in effect from Killeen, Texas, all the way down to Bexar County. Many areas will see 5 to 8 inches of rain, with few areas potentially getting up to 12 inches of rain.
