KERRVILLE, Texas – Texas has endured some of the worst flooding in state history during Independence Day weekend as the death toll continues to rise over 100.
Due to the direct result of flooding, this event is a more deadly flood disaster than the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. An example of the strength and dangers of the rushing waters was captured in Kerrville, Texas when a deer was spotted struggling in the fast-moving water.
Footage captured by Jennifer Barnett shows the deer quickly being swept downstream, dodging various debris left behind in the destruction.
