Flash flood emergencies were issued early Thursday in parts of Kerr and Uvalde counties in Central Texas, amid downpours overnight. Emergency responders conducted water rescues.
The degree of flood damage isn’t yet known. But it all must seem like déjà vu for residents there, as it comes little more than a year after devastating floods in the area.
Much of the attention on and after July 4th, 2025, focused on Kerrville, the summer camp that was washed away, and the at least 117 people that died in Kerr County.
Less attention was given to the nine people who died amid flooding the very next day, 100 miles to the northeast, in Sandy Creek, a small, unincorporated community in Travis County.
That's the subject the latest episode of the Texas Newsroom/PBS Frontline podcast “After the Flood.”
On Thursday's Houston Matters, we discuss with Houston Public Media’s Dominic Anthony Walsh, and K*T Austin’s Kailey Hunt.
Listen to Houston Matters weekdays at 9 a.m. on Houston Public Media News 88.7 FM, or watch it on Houston Public Media's YouTube channel. And listen to 'After the Flood' where ever you get your podcasts, or at HoustonPublicMedia.org.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was working to obtain legal work authorization in the U.S. when he was shot and killed by ICE last week.
