Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, July 04, 2025

Water rescues and evacuations are underway in central Texas Friday morning after torrential sent river levels surging and triggering deadly flash flooding. At a news conference late Friday morning, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly declined to specify the number of casualties or missing, but said authorities may do so Friday afternoon. Kerr County is about 75 miles west of Austin. Kelly said they have yet to identify most of the dead. "We're having to fingerprint them at the funeral home. One of them was completely naked, didn't have any ID on them at all," he said. Kerr County is home to many summer camps, and some of the children attending them are among the missing or stranded. At the news conference, a reporter pressed Kelly on why the camps had not been evacuated on Thursday after an advisory from the Texas Department of Emergency Management.

"No one knew this flood was coming," Kelly said. "We have floods all the time. This is the most dangerous river valley in the United States and we deal with floods on a regular basis. When it rains, we get water. We had no reason to believe this was going to be anything like what's happened here. None whatsoever."
