Here's what to know about the deadly flooding, the colossal weather system that drove it and ongoing efforts to identify victims.

Texas has identified more than $50 billion in flood control needs, but lawmakers have devoted just $1.4 billion to address them

When the precipitation intensified in the early morning hours Friday, many people failed to receive or respond to flood warnings at riverside campsites known to be in the floodplain.

Heavy rain poured over parts of central Texas, dumping more than a month's worth of rain for places like San Angelo.

Eight-year-old girls at sleep-away camp, families crammed into recreational vehicles, local residents traveling to or from work. These are some of the victims.

Officials in Texas are facing mounting questions about whether they did enough to get people out of harm’s way before a flash flood swept down the Guadalupe River and killed more than 100 people, including at least 27 children and counselors at an all-girls Christian camp.

The record of frequent, often deadly floods in Central Texas goes back more than 200 years to July 1819, when floodwaters spilled into the major plazas of San Antonio. That city on the edge of the Hill Country was hit by major floods again in 1913, 1921, 1998 and 2025, to cite a few examples.

At least 111 people have been killed and a further 173 are still missing after catastrophic flash flooding swept through Central Texas. Officials fear that the death toll could soar as search and rescue efforts entered their sixth day Wednesday, as hundreds of local, state and federal emergency responders sifted through debris for survivors.

At least 90 people have died following last Friday's flooding, including 27 campers and counsellors, with more rain in the forecast.

More than 160 people are still believed to be missing in Texas days after flash floods killed over 100 people during the July Fourth weekend, the state's governor said Tuesday.

Amid the tragedy of recent flash floods in central Texas, conspiracy theories about "cloud seeding" practices have gained traction on social media, fueled by prominent U.S. political figures.
