According to local authorities, at least 109 people died on July 4 and 5, most of which were swept up in floodwaters from campgrounds along the Guadalupe River. That’s just shy of the 118 deaths reported as a result of Hurricane Rita in 2005.

The Central Texas community held vigils and set up memorials to remember the lives lost during the July 4 flood.

ABC News shines a light on a small ministry answering the call for help as Texans grapple with the aftermath of deadly floods.
