A time-lapse video published about the major flood disaster in Texas showed that the Guadalupe River rose more than 10 meters in just 45 minutes. This rapid rise in such a short time caused the deaths of at least 80 people, including 28 children.
The disaster occurred in the early hours of July 4 in Kerr County. The river suddenly overflowed due to heavy rainfall. The highest number of casualties was reported in this area. In Travis County, 5 people died; in Burnet County, 3; in Williamson and Kendall Counties, 2 each; and in Tom Green County, 1 person lost their life.
Rescue teams are still searching for 41 missing persons. Among the missing are 11 girls from the Christian summer camp Camp Mystic located by the riverbank.
Footage shared on social media shows how quickly the floodwaters rose between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM on July 4. The water quickly covered the roads, swallowing small trees and bushes. After an hour, only the tops of a few trees remained above the water. A user watching the video commented, "The video starts at 17:12. Look at the water level at 17:18. There’s nowhere to escape in 6 minutes."
Authorities reported that rainfall continues in the area and that water levels could rise further. New evacuation orders have been issued around Johnson Creek and the Guadalupe River. Nim Kidd, the head of Texas Emergency Management, stated that the rain is still ongoing and that new bodies of water could arrive in the region. He also mentioned that efforts are being made to reach the affected areas by air.
According to information obtained by Daily Mail on July 6, Texas Emergency Management officials expect the death toll to exceed 100. The state disaster office communicated this information to its partners via email. Two different sources confirmed the accuracy of this estimate.
