Texas fatal flooding: Guadalupe River crested at 37 feet
Fatal historic flooding across the Texas Hill Country has left one person dead in Kerr County, as the Guadalupe River crested at a near-historic 37 feet.
Floodwaters from a surging Guadalupe River crested at a near-historic 37 feet Thursday, triggering rescues and voluntary evacuations across Kendall County, while emergency officials moved quickly to reassure the public that a bright red dye pooling in the water poses no health hazard.
The river matched the height of a devastating July 4, 2025, flood but is carrying a higher volume of water over a wider footprint. Kendall County Emergency Management Coordinator Brady Constantine said the river crested at Highway 87 on Thursday morning following torrential rains that began inundating the area around 2 a.m.
