A study puts the spotlight on Texas as the leading U.S. state by far for flood-related deaths, with more than 1,000 of them from 1959 to 2019.

As he was driving back from Hunt, Texas, along the Guadalupe River, he was able to see the destruction of the flash flooding that has devastated central Texas, killing at least 120 people and leaving more than 170 missing. Nebraskans like Storey have since stepped up to do what they can to help.

While he’s been in communities after hurricanes and tornadoes, President Trump said the devastation he saw after an aerial tour of the flood-ravaged Texas Hill Country on Friday was different.

In an effort to help Texas flooding victims, the organization is accepting donations for its Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, which its website says will “support nonprofit organizations, first responder agencies, and local governments actively involved in response, relief, and recovery efforts.”

Kerrville residents who turned out in force Friday to welcome President Donald Trump said his visit brought hope and comfort — and marked an important step in the town’s long road to healing and rebuilding.

If you would like to volunteer to help with flood recovery, the city said to register in advance online. Registered volunteers are asked to come to Tivy Antler Stadium, located at 1310 Sydney Baker Street in Kerrville. Check-in starts at 8 a.m.

Officials in Kerr County, where the majority of the deaths from the July 4 flash floods occurred, have yet to detail what actions they took in the early hours of the disaster.

Religion and the river are constant Kerr County touchstones. As residents lean on their faith, they grapple with their relationship to the water.
