Satellite images are providing a clearer picture of the devastation brought by the deadly flooding in Central Texas over the July Fourth weekend. 

At least 120 people were killed and over 160 remained missing as of Wednesday, officials said. 

Heavy rain in the region known as Texas Hill Country caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly on Friday. Kerr County, whose largest city of Kerrville is located about 100 miles west of Austin and 65 miles northwest of San Antonio, was hit the hardest, accounting for the majority of deaths

Below are satellite photos showing before and after images of areas hit by the flooding:
