George Strait’s Flood Relief Concert Delivers Critical Aid to Kerr County Families

A month and a half after historic deadly flash floods tore through the Hill Country in the early hours of Independence Day, the recovery effort in Kerr County now stretches for miles along the winding Highway River Road.

To newcomers, the scene still looks like the height of ruin — mountains of debris piled on both sides of the road, heavy machinery rumbling past as crews toil in the summer heat. But locals say it’s a marked improvement from the situation immediately after the flood, underscoring both the scale of the tragedy and the determination to rebuild.
