Positive Update: List of Missing People from Texas Floods Shrinks From 97 Down to Three

Lorenzo Prieto : Jul 21, 2025  The Daily Signal

"To every member of law enforcement, fire and rescue, emergency management, and supporting agencies—thank you. Your dedication, professionalism, and compassion have brought comfort and answers to so many." -Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly

[DailySignal.com] Kerr County, Texas officials reported Saturday that of the nearly 100 people listed as missing at last count since deadly flash flooding overtook Texas on July 4, only three people are now missing, according to Fox News. The rest previously thought to have been missing have been found safe. (Screengrab image: via Live Now from Fox)

This sudden decline comes during the third week of searching—a positive result, considering that after the natural disaster occurred, the list of unaccounted individuals rose to 160 in Kerr County alone.

"We are profoundly grateful to the more than 1,000 local, state, and federal authorities who have worked tirelessly in the wake of the devastating flood that struck our community," Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said in a statement on Saturday.

"This remarkable progress reflects countless hours of coordinated search and rescue operations, careful investigative work, and an unwavering commitment to bringing clarity and hope to families during an unimaginably difficult time."

As of Sunday, the death toll in Kerr County has reached 107 victims, including 70 adults and 37 children.

Ever since the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet, the devastating Texas floods have killed 135 people. The violent inundation hit the Texas Hill Country very early on the morning of Independence Day, sweeping vacation cabins and youth camps away.

Camp Mystic, a Christian camp for young girls, alone reported the tragic death of 27 girls and camp counselors amid the floods.

Media commentators and Democrat lawmakers took advantage of this tragedy to attack President Donald Trump and his administration, claiming federal agencies were not able to act in time due to the cuts in funding and personnel in the National Weather Service.

"MAGA and [right-wing] media seem very upset today as a chorus of us experts discuss the impact of cuts to weather forecasting," wrote CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem on X, reported Daily Signal columnist Jarrett Stepman.

The Department of Homeland Security responded to these accusations on X, showing the National Weather Service timeline in responding to the rising flood danger, reassuring, "The National Weather Service provided over 12 hours of advance notice via the Flood Watch and over 3 hours of lead time for Flash Flood Warnings, with escalated alerts as the storm intensified."

"To every member of law enforcement, fire and rescue, emergency management, and supporting agencies—thank you," Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said. "Your dedication, professionalism, and compassion have brought comfort and answers to so many."

"Our thoughts remain with the families still awaiting news, and we will continue to stand with them as efforts persist," Kerrville Mayor Joe Herring Jr. added. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
