On July 19, 2025, officials from Kerr County, Texas, reported that the number of missing people in the July 2025 floods dropped from more than 160 to three.

In 2017, the county, Kerrville and Upper Guadalupe River Authority warned about the potential for “monstrous and devastating flash floods,” in an online video citing previous disasters that occurred in August 1978 and July 1987, KXAN previously found. The video urged residents to “Be Flood Aware.”

Kerr County officials now estimate that flood damage from the recent Central Texas disaster could exceed $200 million-and to help cover mounting recovery costs, they may raise property taxes for the first time in years.
