This month’s deadly floods in Kerr County carry echoes of another Hill Country disaster that took place 38 years ago this week.

More than 130 people are dead after devastating flooding in the Texas Hill Country that began early on the Fourth of July.

As of Tuesday, July 15, a total of 107 bodies have been recovered in Kerr County, 70 adults and 37 children, officials told KSAT 12. Meanwhile, the number of missing stands at 97, the same number Gov. Greg Abbott reported on Monday, July 14. The number is a sharp decrease from the 161 reported missing in Kerr County alone.

Kerr County officials did not issue a locally targeted emergency alert to warn people in town of the rapidly rising waters until two days after the deadly flood, according to

A "Basic Plan" for emergency response for three Texas counties labeled flash flooding as having a "major" impact on public safety, according to a page on a city website.

Organizers say a planned candlelight vigil scheduled for this evening in Hunt for victims of the flood has been cancelled due to the threat of more rain in the area. The heaviest rain has now moved southeast along a line from Hondo to San Antonio to Austin.

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

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