Almost 120 people are dead across Central Texas after flooding over the July 4th weekend. More than 170 people are considered missing, according to officials.

Here's what to know about the deadly flooding, the colossal weather system that drove it and ongoing efforts to identify victims.

Rumors about National Weather Service cuts, cloud seeding, rescues and more spread online following the deadly July 2025 floods in central Texas.

The floods claimed the lives of several children who had been attending a girls’ summer camp located near the Guadalupe River, where rising water levels swept away cabins, bridges and roads.

As tears streamed down their faces, community members looked at the photos attached to a growing memorial wall.

Malaya Grace Hammond is among the latest fatalities identified from the Texas floods. Hammond's family said she was swept away by floodwaters on Saturday in Travis County.

Family members have identified more than a dozen people who are presumed missing after severe flooding in the Texas Hill Country on Friday.

The President and his allies have so far bristled at any suggestion that much could have been done to prevent the tragic loss of life in Texas. Trump described the flooding as a "once in every 200-year deal", even if he did suggest that "alarms" could have helped.
