Kerr County Faces Second Major Flood in Two Years
Kerr County, Texas, has been struck by another catastrophic flood just over a year after the previous disaster. On July 16, 2026, heavy rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to overflow, damaging homes, businesses, and infrastructure in Hunt, Kerrville, and Center Point. The National Weather Service classified last year’s flood as a thousand-year rainfall, but this year’s event has similarly devastated the community. Residents are now dealing with the emotional and physical toll of rebuilding, with many choosing to stay despite the risks of living in Flash Flood Alley. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance has not yet been approved, leaving nonprofits and volunteers to provide critical support. Source time: 2026-08-03T10:00:00 GMT.
