July 2025 Central Texas floods

Beginning from Independence Day (July 4) 2025, severe thunderstorms and flash floods caused a very devastating flooding event which went on for several days. These flooding events happened in Central, Western and Southern Texas.

The flooding was triggered in part by the low that had been Tropical Storm Barry. The cyclone struck Northeastern Mexico.

Between four and five months of rainfall occurred in just a few hours. In one case, the waters of a river  rose by about  in about 45 minutes.

The death toll from the flooding in Central, Southern and Western Texas was way beyond 100. The overall toll was likely to increase.

This flood was the deadliest inland flooding event in the United States since the 1976 Big Thompson River flood, surpassing flooding from Hurricane Helene in 2024.
