Summary
More than 490 homes and 100 businesses were damaged in Kerr County after days of heavy rain triggered another major Texas Hill Country flood.
Two deaths were reported across South and Central Texas, far below the more than 130 killed in the July 4, 2025 flooding that devastated the same region.
Officials, experts and residents said the slower, multi-day rainfall, along with new sirens, alerts and greater vigilance, gave people more time to reach safety.
Over the weekend, homeowners, relatives and volunteers shoveled out mud, removed soaked furniture and sorted through belongings, even as some areas saw water rise higher than last year.
