The flash floods that killed at least 100 people in central Texas last week is only the latest Guadalupe River disaster to claim lives.

The Texas Hill Country has been notorious for flash floods caused by the Guadalupe River. Here's why the area is called "Flash Flood Alley."

The Guadalupe River has risen to catastrophic levels in the same area three times in the past century, impacting camps and campers each time.

The region of Texas where flash flooding killed more than 90 people -- including dozens of campers -- is known for its tendency to experience flood emergencies.

Teens at the Pot O’ Gold Christian Camp near Comfort, Texas, were swamped by a wall of water as they tried to escape.

With hundreds confirmed dead or still missing, questions remain about the local response to flood warnings. Meanwhile, lawmakers will weigh measures to mitigate future disasters.

The Guadalupe River, winding through the scenic Texas Hill Country, has a hidden danger that struck with devastating force in July 2025. Heavy rains caused the river to surge, leading to one of the deadliest floods in recent history.
