A study puts the spotlight on Texas as the leading U.S. state by far for flood-related deaths, with more than 1,000 of them from 1959 to 2019

At least 108 people have been killed in “catastrophic” flash flooding across Texas, while several others remain missing.

In an effort to help Texas flooding victims, the organization is accepting donations for its Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, which its website says will “support nonprofit organizations, first responder agencies, and local governments actively involved in response, relief, and recovery efforts.”

A chain-link fence that separates Water Street in the center of Kerrville from the Guadalupe River just a few hundred feet away has become a makeshift memorial, with the flower-covered stretch serving as a focal point for a grieving community.
