Satellite photos show before and after Texas flooding
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:
Camp Mystic
At least 27 victims were campers or counselors at Camp Mystic, which describes itself as a private Christian summer camp for girls located on the banks of the Guadalupe River.
Ingram Dam
The Ingram Dam is located in Ingram, Texas, along the Guadalupe River, just to the west of Kerrville. Satellite imagery shows the aftermath of the flooding in the area of the dam.
