Kerrville(Texas) Louise Hays Park Flooding

 

Louise Hays Park in Kerrville - July 4th 2025

Currently due to heavy rain (>250l/m2), Kerr county in central Texas is hit by severe floods. The Guadalupe river passes through the center of Kerrville and Louise Hays Park. We visited this Park last year in April to see the total solar eclipse. According the news a lot of areas are flooding including Louise Hays Park in central Kerrville. 

Wishing a lot of strength to the residents of Kerrville and, by extension, all of Texas.
