Nearly 100 people who had been reported as missing following the devastating flash floods that hit central Texas on July 4 have been found safe, according to Kerr County officials on Saturday. There are now only three individuals still unaccounted for.

The reduction in the number of missing individuals is significant, as the search efforts have now entered their third week. Initially, more than 160 people were reported missing in Kerr County alone.

“This remarkable progress reflects countless hours of coordinated search and rescue operations, careful investigative work, and an unwavering commitment to bringing clarity and hope to families during an unimaginably difficult time,” said Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice in a statement shared by the city on social media Saturday night.

As of Sunday, the death toll in Kerr County stood at 107, including 70 adults and 37 children.

Recovery efforts continue, with more than 1,000 local, state, and federal personnel – alongside thousands of volunteers from across the country – combing the area on foot from the river’s headwaters to Canyon Lake.

“Our thoughts remain with the families still awaiting news, and we will continue to stand with them as efforts persist,” said Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr.

Kerr County is located about 60 miles northwest of San Antonio.
