The death toll from catastrophic flooding in Central Texas has reached 131, according to official reports and Governor Greg Abbott. The flooding, which began with a flash flood on July 4 that transformed the Guadalupe River into a deadly torrent, has resulted in at least 131 fatalities, with 97 people still missing, primarily around Kerrville. Authorities have issued warnings of additional heavy rains expected to affect the same Hill Country areas, raising concerns about further flooding and potential casualties.
