Newly released satellite images reveal catastrophic damage caused by the Hill Country floods along the Guadalupe River.
While there is not much that can be done at night because it's so dark, there are some people who are continuing the very slow, methodical process of untangling huge debris, where most of the remaining missing victims are believed to be.
The recent disaster has some thinking back to a similar tragedy almost 40 years ago that occurred in the same month and nearly the same place.
At least 120 people have died and some 173 people remain unaccounted for statewide, nearly a week after flash floods ravaged the Texas Hill Country.
Jeff and Amber Wilson lost their lives in the flooding. As of Wednesday, July 9, their son, Shiloh, remains missing. According to a fundraising page set up by family, Jeff, Amber and Shiloh were in the Kerville area for a rodeo with Shiloh, who was described as a "young, spirited competitor." Jeff Wilson was a teacher in the Humble ISD.
Camp Mystic was overrun by flash flooding that started on Independence Day. Rapidly rising waters ripped through the century-old all-girls Christian summer camp, killing at least 27 people. Others are still missing.
Hundreds of campers were sound asleep early on Friday, expecting to wake up to a fireworks show and special treats of Hershey’s bars and Coca-Cola by the lake.
