Search and recovery efforts continue in Kerr County, 12 days after the tragic flood that claimed more than 130 lives along the Guadalupe.
Another potentially life-threatening flooding event took place across Central Texas on Sunday morning, with torrential rain sending rivers and streams above their banks, forcing officials to stop search efforts along the Guadalupe River that had been underway since a catastrophic and deadly flash flooding event over the Fourth of July holiday.
About four miles downriver from Acevedo's team in Kerrville, Roberto Marquez was found working on a memorial. "I've made 148. But I believe we need to make another 18," Marquez said. The artist is handmaking crosses to honor those lost across Texas.
It’s a staggering fact, especially after our region has experienced a multi-year drought. But nearly every major river basin in South Central Texas has experienced flooding since July 4, 2025.
Also: San Antonio mourned the victims in a Travis Park vigil; UTSA said one of its teachers died in the Guadalupe River flood; Kerrville officials said a privately owned drone collided with a helicopter conducting search and rescue operations.
"Due to the incoming threatening weather, all volunteers should vacate the river area, and MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND for their safety," Kerr County said on Facebook. "Only teams working under the direction of Kerr County Emergency Operations Center Unified Command are permitted in the response zone."
