In the early days of July, pieces of weather systems were converging to create a disaster over Texas Hill Country that would transform the Guadalupe River into a monster raging out of its banks in the pre-dawn hours of July 4, claiming the lives of more than 129 people. At least 160 are still missing.

Officials announced on Sunday that the overall death toll in the ongoing Texas flooding has risen past 130 killed. There are 106 confirmed deaths in hard-hit Kerr County, with 36 believed to be children.
