Satellite images show before and after Texas floods
New satellite images released from Maxar Technologies show the destruction of the flash floods that have resulted in the deaths of more than 100 people over the July 4 weekend.
Local authorities estimate around as Thursday marks the seventh day of the search for victims.
The photos reveal the destruction of trees, vegetation and homes along the Guadalupe River near Hunt and Kerrville, Texas.
The flooding occurred in Texas Hill Country in the central part of the state, which is also called “Flash Flood Alley.” Kerrville, where much of the destruction took place, is more than 60 miles northwest of San Antonio, Texas.
The images also show the damage at Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls located on the Guadalupe River in Kerr County. At least 27 campers and counselors died, , with some still not accounted for.
The region is home to FEMA flood zones, including high-risk flood zones adjacent to Camp Mystic.
