Same Texas Flood Area Hit Again One Year After Deadly Disaster

On July 16, 2026, the National Weather Service warned of flash flood emergencies in Kerr and Uvalde counties, Texas. Up to 20 inches of rain fell in two days, and the Guadalupe River rose more than 30 feet overnight. The same area suffered deadly floods in July 2025 that killed over 100 people, including 27 at Camp Mystic. The repeat disaster raises urgent questions about warning systems and how communities manage land in flood-prone zones.
