KERRVILLE, Texas — A growing memorial wall in the heart of Kerrville is bringing the Texas Hill Country community together as it grapples with immense loss following devastating floods. Photos, flowers and handwritten messages now line a fence along Water Street. Each item is a poignant reminder of the lives lost and those who are still missing.

Nearly a week after deadly floods struck Central Texas, search and rescue teams are continuing to probe debris for those still missing.

Kerrville residents are grappling with widespread damage to homes, cars and belongings after recent flooding. Many are turning to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for financial help.

New satellite images released from Maxar Technologies show the destruction of the flash floods that have resulted in the deaths of more than 100 people over the July 4 weekend.Local authorities estimate around 160 people are still missing as Thursday marks the seventh day of the search for victims.

Over just two hours, the Guadalupe River at Comfort, Texas, rose from hip-height to three stories tall, sending water weighing as much as the Empire State building downstream roughly every minute it remained at its crest. The force of floodwater is often more powerful and surprising than people imagine.

Robert Earl Keen, who owns a ranch just outside Kerrville, is lending his talents in an upcoming concert that will benefit many of his Hill Country neighbors impacted by last week’s floods.

Many Texans are still searching for loved ones and answers following the catastrophic flooding event over the weekend. Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring, Jr. joins Katy Tur to share how his community will “come up with a plan” to prevent this kind of event from happening again.
