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.

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

Near Loop 410 and Perrin Beitel on the Northeast Side, a wall of water swept more than a dozen vehicles into Beitel Creek — killing 11 of the 13 victims. The other two victims were found in separate flood-affected areas: near Leon Creek/Highway 90 and several miles upstream.

Flash floods that hit central Texas devastated Hill Country during the Fourth of July holiday weekend, killing dozens of people.

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

San Antonio-based fast-food chain Whataburger said it would provide meals to first responders.

Meanwhile, anguished parents waited for word on the 10 young campers still missing from Camp Mystic, which was hit hard by floodwaters.

The search for the remains of those who died in last week’s flooding moved further and further east, as crews followed the flow of the Guadalupe River.
