What happened
Heavy rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly in Kerr County. Separately, the Texas Board of Nursing temporarily suspended the license of a health official, later reinstating it with restrictions. This action followed allegations related to the July 4, 2025, flood at Camp Mystic, which resulted in 25 deaths.
