Before hundreds of first responders and volunteers from around the country came to help, it was the local residents of Texas Hill Country who faced down a deadly wall of water along the Gaudalope River and witnessed terrifying scenes.

As floodwaters from the Guadalupe River begin to recede, the emotional and physical toll on Hill Country residents is only just beginning to show.

At least 94 are dead in Kerr County, Texas alone after historic floods. The owner of Blue Oak RV Park is haunted by the screams she heard as the water rose.
