Blistering sun and July heat and humidity will provide challenges for recovery and cleanup efforts in the aftermath of the Guadalupe River flood disaster, AccuWeather meteorologists say.
More than 100 people have died across Texas from the floods, with Kerr County taking the heaviest blow. Nonprofits, restaurants and prominent business from H-E-B to the Salvation Army to P. Terry's are all taking efforts to raise funds or provide supplies to the impacted communities. A full list of places accepting donations can be found here.
At least 119 people have been found dead in nearly a week since heavy rainfall overwhelmed the river and flowed through homes and youth camps in the early morning hours of July 4. Ninety-five of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least three dozen children.
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.
Light rain will continue until the early afternoon for the San Antonio metro area, potentially impacting outdoor 4th of July plans. However, things are likely to dry out in time for firework displays after sunset. A few showers are possible Saturday, with drier air Sunday.
