With hundreds confirmed dead or still missing, questions remain about the local response to flood warnings. Meanwhile, lawmakers will weigh measures to mitigate future disasters.

Houston-born actor Dennis Quaid shared a personal story about the deadly floods that killed more than 100 in the Texas Hill Country last weekend. His 17-year-old daughter, Zoe, was a counselor at a camp 75 miles north of Kerrville when the floods swept through the area.

The Fourth of July flooding had an outsized effect not just on the Hill Country but also on rain-starved Texas cities like San Antonio and Austin.
