Communities in Kerr County and beyond are coming together to help each other in the aftermath of the horrible floods that wreaked havoc on the area over the Fourth of July weekend. At least 119 people lost their lives, and more than 160 are still missing.
Many residents didn’t know the gravity of the situation until a wall of water was at their door.
The flood left behind large piles of debris, making the rugged terrain even more difficult to navigate. But neighbors are helping neighbors, and some are receiving help from people they have never met.
“It’s a great thing to need something and have people you don’t know reach out and help,” said Kerrville resident Bruce Jerome. “I’ve personally experienced this. It’s impactful.”
