Independence Day floods among Texas' most devastating natural disasters

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A week has passed since Central Texas was struck with catastrophic flash flooding over the July 4 weekend. While many questions remain unanswered, and communities across the state are only in the beginning stages of recovery, it is becoming more clear just how devastating and fatal the weather event was.

The floods claimed the lives of at least 129 people. At least 166 people remain missing, as of the latest updates from officials Friday evening.
