Kerr County residents near the river are being told to evacuate the region immediately and to avoid traveling.

Torrential rainfall in the South Central Texas region has led to unprecedented flooding, resulting in four emergency flash flood alerts being issued.

Over seven inches of rain fell within six hours in the county.

“Flash flooding is currently happening. This is a Flash Flood Emergency concerning the Guadalupe River spanning from Center Point to Sisterdale,” the National Weather Service cautioned.

This is a particularly dangerous situation. Seek higher ground now!”

The deadly floods have already claimed the lives of several people.

“We can confirm (the deaths) but we are afraid there may be more,” County Judge Rob Kelly told the Austin American-Statesman.

“They are still looking.”

Children who were camping at the Christian camp, Camp Mystic, were all safely rescued, according to Kelly.

First responders rushed to an RV park near Howdy’s Restaurant in Kerrville, where the second flash flood warning was issued.
