In the early morning hours of July 4th, 2025, floodwaters tore through the Texas Hill Country, catching most people by surprise. At least 138 people died, many of them children. For people who lived through the disaster — and those who lost friends and family — the devastation was unimaginable. And that was just the beginning.
Reporters from The Texas Newsroom have been talking to survivors of the flood about what happened that night and what it’s been like in the aftermath. This podcast is about their stories and the questions they have, that all of us have. Why did this happen? How could this happen with almost no warning? And could it happen again?
After the Flood is a production of The Texas Newsroom and PBS’ FRONTLINE. Find it wherever you get your podcasts on June 24.
