Devastating flash floods in Texas Hill Country have resulted in over 100 deaths, with many victims from the Austin area and Kerr County. The floods, which began in early July 2025, triggered a large-scale search for approximately 160 people still missing amid challenging weather conditions. Communities have responded with memorials and support efforts, including a growing 50-foot "Wall of Hope" memorial on Water Street in Kerrville honoring the victims. Local craftsman Roberto Marquez has been providing custom caskets and crafting memorials for families affected by the floods at no charge, helping unite the community in solidarity and healing. Volunteers have also contributed by serving hot meals to those impacted. Public discourse includes questions about whether the deaths were avoidable, as reflected in recent polling. The floods have drawn national attention as authorities and residents continue recovery and remembrance efforts.
