Kerr County is reeling from a second crippling flood in just two years, with families and businesses still cleaning up from last year’s devastation—this time facing even greater damage and fewer resources. Over 1,500 damage reports, nearly 50 destroyed homes, and hundreds more severely damaged have piled on top of an already $8 million budget shortfall. Tourism is plummeting as summer visitors cancel, and federal aid remains stalled. While last year’s tragedy drew global attention and massive fundraising efforts, this year’s crisis is flying under the radar—with fewer volunteers, lower donations, and a palpable sense of donor fatigue. Despite that, locals are banding together with grit and resilience, but they’re urgently calling for more help to rebuild what’s been lost.
