Central Texas is grappling with the aftermath of catastrophic flooding that claimed over 100 lives and left dozens missing after the Guadalupe River surged on July 4. In Kerr County, entire neighborhoods vanished under the torrent, leaving survivors to confront unimaginable loss.
One resident, whose neighbors were swept away in the disaster, shared their story of resilience with CGTN's Nitza Soledad Perez. Among the missing is a 2-year-old child, underscoring the human toll of the crisis. "We’re holding onto hope while rebuilding what we can," the survivor said, describing community-led recovery efforts.
Emergency teams continue search operations as meteorologists attribute the unprecedented flooding to climate-driven weather patterns. Local authorities emphasize the need for improved disaster preparedness in flood-prone regions.
