Plans to develop a flood monitoring system in the Texas county hit hardest by deadly floods were scheduled to begin only a few weeks later.

Search crews continued the grueling task of recovering the missing as more potential flash flooding threatened Texas Hill Country.

Also: San Antonio mourned the victims in a Travis Park vigil; UTSA said one of its teachers died in the Guadalupe River flood; Kerrville officials said a privately owned drone collided with a helicopter conducting search and rescue operations.

The floods claimed the lives of several children who had been attending a girls’ summer camp located near the Guadalupe River, where rising water levels swept away cabins, bridges and roads.

A week after deadly flash floods, as rescue turns to recovery, more than 160 people remain missing in Kerr County, Texas.

In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

The storied Guadalupe River meanders through this Texas Hill Country town and into the unincorporated parts of Kerr County like a vein.
