Torrential rain once again turned parts of the Texas Hill Country into a disaster zone Thursday, sending rivers surging out of their banks, submerging neighborhoods and prompting frantic rescue efforts across the region. Fast-moving floodwaters inundated homes, businesses, campgrounds and highways as residents were forced to flee and emergency crews raced to reach those trapped by the rising water. At least one person has died, officials said, while dozens more were rescued as authorities warned the threat was far from over.
Flash flood emergencies stretched across parts of Kerr, Kendall and Uvalde counties as the Guadalupe River rose with astonishing speed, reaching levels that evoked painful memories of the catastrophic July 2025 floods that claimed more than 130 lives. With additional heavy rain in the forecast and communities still under evacuation orders, these photos document the devastation unfolding across one of Texas’ hardest-hit regions.
As rescue crews continue responding and residents begin assessing the damage, the images offer a sobering reminder of the power of Texas floodwaters. From swollen rivers and washed-out roads to homes surrounded by rising water, the photos capture the scale of a disaster still unfolding across the Hill Country.
