The Kerrville area of Texas, United States, turned into a watery grave for more than 130 people when a flash flood caused the Guadalupe River to suddenly swell on July 4, the US Independence Day weekend.
Being labelled as the worst in American history, the flash flood dumped over a foot of rainfall in under an hour on Texas Hill Country, which is so vulnerable to floods that it has come to be called “Flash Flood Alley”. In barely five hours, the Guadalupe River went from around 1 to 34 feet.
While rescue efforts are on — over 100 people
