Janice Riley, Michelle Annette, and Lisa Aguillen reflect on volunteering with Kerrville flood victims, witnessing heartbreaking loss and moments of hope in the Texas community

Texas lawmakers are meeting for the first time to address the deadly July 4 floods that killed at least 135 people.

Young campers and a dad saving his family were among the dozens killed in the historic flash floods that tore through central Texas over the holiday weekend.

The flash flooding deluged summer camps in Kerr County, dotted along the Guadalupe River, and also left families in Burnet, Kendall, Tom Green, Travis and Williamson Counties looking for family members swept away in the floodwaters.

A small gathering of about 12 attended the candlelight vigil at the West Texas Abilene Raceway Tuesday evening, in honor and memory of the Central Texas flooding victims and their loved ones. Participants shared their own experiences and lifted up the lives of those who had been devastated by the floods.

After deadly Texas floods, florists across the state are donating funeral flowers to grieving families. More flowers and materials are needed.
