The flash floods that killed at least 100 people in central Texas last week is only the latest Guadalupe River disaster to claim lives.

Teens at the Pot O’ Gold Christian Camp near Comfort, Texas, were swamped by a wall of water as they tried to escape.

It took just 90 minutes for the river to rise more than 30 feet. A look at the historic flood levels now etched into Central Texas history.

For many, Friday’s flood brought back memories of an eerily similar tragedy, when the Guadalupe River swelled in 1987, killing 10 North Texas teenagers. Those victims, along with more than 33 others who were injured, were trying to escape a Hill Country summer camp when a wall of water washed over them.

Hill Country residents and volunteers on Tuesday continued picking up the pieces that the deadly waterway left behind days earlier.

The Guadalupe River in Texas surged 26 feet in just 45 minutes. It caught everyone off guard - What began as a routine flood developed into a deadly disaster, with the death toll now in triple digits

Days after flash floods killed over 100 people during the July Fourth weekend, search-and-rescue teams are using heavy equipment to untangle and peel away layers of trees, unearth large rocks in riverbanks and move massive piles of debris that stretch for miles in the search for the missing people.

The disasters in Texas and New Mexico are something we can't take for granted here in Minnesota. In 2007, deadly flash floods forced people to evacuate homes and campgrounds in southeastern Minnesota.
