How new flood sirens and warning upgrades helped Kerr County during this week's flooding
KERR COUNTY, Texas – Kerr County and the Upper Guadalupe River Authority say new sirens and other recent upgrades to the area’s flood warning system helped keep the public informed amid flooding this week.
According to UGRA General Manager Tara Bushnoe, three flood warning sirens were activated along the Guadalupe River under the county’s protocol. Two sirens were sounded along the South Fork, and one was activated in Hunt.

Three other sirens were not activated since those sites recorded only minor flooding, Bushnoe said.
Upgrades to the area’s flood warning system were far from done when a new round of storms began pummeling the Hill Country this week, triggering catastrophic flash floods in some of the same areas devastated on July 4, 2025. At least two people died this week, and more than 500 people were rescued.

John Mark Steward was inside his home when it was overtaken by water Thursday, his wife Jennie Steward posted to social media.
She had asked for help finding her husband in a Facebook post at 9 a.m. on Thursday. She was in Dallas during the flooding, she said.
“Mark, my love, I will forever be grateful for the beautiful years we shared together,” she wrote. “You made me be a better person. I love you all.”
