Religion and the river are constant Kerr County touchstones. As residents lean on their faith, they grapple with their relationship to the water.

Plans to develop a flood monitoring system in the Texas county hit hardest by deadly floods were scheduled to begin only a few weeks later.

President Donald Trump is visiting Texas on Friday to assess catastrophic flooding that has killed at least 120 people.

The Texas Hill Country has been notorious for flash floods caused by the Guadalupe River. Here's why the area is called "Flash Flood Alley."

In what experts call "Flash Flood Alley," the terrain reacts quickly to rainfall steep slopes, rocky ground, and narrow riverbeds leave little time for warning.

Over just two hours, the Guadalupe River at Comfort, Texas, rose from hip-height to three stories tall, sending water weighing as much as the Empire State building downstream roughly every minute it remained at its crest. The force of floodwater is often more powerful and surprising than people imagine.

Well, it could take months for Texas families to experience some form of closure as more than 170 people remain missing, nearly a week after those deadly floodwaters rushed in the Texas Hill Country on July 4 as four months of rain fell in just two days over central Texas.

With more than 170 still missing, communities must reconcile how to pick up the pieces around a waterway that remains both a wellspring and a looming menace.

Daniel Morales, assistant chief of the Comfort Volunteer Fire Department, believes that long, flat tone the morning of July Fourth saved lives.

A retired nurse, her son, and a family friend say they were lucky to survive last week's flash floods in Texas that killed more than 100 people, including many summer campers.
