The remains of a beloved Houston woman have been located and positively identified after fatal flash flooding ripped through the Texas Hill Country.

A washed-out Guadalupe River appeared stuck in time nearly two weeks after the catastrophe. Large trees laid on their sides and remnants of debris lingered throughout what was left. Some residents of the area say it's unlike anything they've seen in the river before.

Eight-year-old girls at sleep-away camp, families crammed into recreational vehicles, local residents traveling to or from work. These are some of the victims.

Out of all of South Carolina's regions, only one is vulnerable to the type of catastrophic flash river flooding that hit Texas July 4: The Upstate.

By all accounts, forecasters provided adequate warning — the problem was communicating the danger to residents.

As natural disasters like flooding, tornadoes and landslides piled up this spring, FEMA accumulated a backlog of disaster requests going into the Gulf of Mexico's hurricane season.

Unfounded rumors linking an extreme weather event to human attempts at weather modification are again spreading on social media. It is not plausible that available weather modification techniques caused or influenced the July 4 flash flooding along the Guadalupe River in Texas.
