A study puts the spotlight on Texas as the leading U.S. state by far for flood-related deaths, with more than 1,000 of them from 1959 to 2019.

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

More than 111 people have died across six counties after flash flooding from heavy rain began affecting the state last week.

President Donald Trump is touring the devastation left by flash flooding in central Texas amid growing questions about how local officials responded to the crisis as well as questions about the federal response -- including the fate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency -- that he has so far avoided.

The threat of heavy rain is “slight” for this weekend, but with the ground fully saturated in Kerr County even small amounts of rainfall could cause flooding.

In the wake of disaster, people are relying on the volunteer fire department, the backbone of the Hill Country.

Officials in Kerr County, where the majority of the deaths from the July 4 flash floods occurred, have yet to detail what actions they took in the early hours of the disaster.

Scholars and designers of early warning systems say that there are still huge gaps in our ability to predict flash floods and warn those at risk.
