KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — More heavy rains in Texas on Sunday temporarily paused a weeklong search for victims of catastrophic flooding along the Guadalupe River and led to high-water rescues elsewhere as officials warned that the downpours could again cause waterways to surge.
A growing wall of flowers and photographs honoring the victims of last weekend’s deadly floods has been taking shape in Kerrville over the last 48 hours.
If you would like to volunteer to help with flood recovery, the city said to register in advance online. Registered volunteers are asked to come to Tivy Antler Stadium, located at 1310 Sydney Baker Street in Kerrville. Check-in starts at 8 a.m.
As tears streamed down their faces, community members looked at the photos attached to a growing memorial wall.
