Long road to recovery begins as Hill Country volunteers continue flood search and healing efforts
After 12 days, the initial adrenaline to jump into action is starting to wear off for some volunteers. Crews are starting to settle into what will become a long and complex process of bringing everyone home. Jodi Carpenter and her daughter Abigail love the Guadalupe River. The park where Abigail Carpenter grew up playing is now covered in crosses to remember those swept away by the floodwaters. "I'm talking to God and my, you know, my head going, 'what does this look like for the long haul?' God, you know, how do we plug into healing for the long haul? Because it's going to be different moving forward," said Jodi Carpenter. Twelve miles downstream, search efforts continue. "The last several days have been, they've been difficult," said Daniel Murray. "This whole situation is emotionally heavy. But the reason we're out here is because we know the community needs support." Murray is part of a volunteer crew that's been clearing piles of debris. His crew marks each pile with an orange "X" to let other teams know it's clear. "What happened here is, it's hard to wrap your head around until you're on the ground looking at it," said Murray. Murray's group is one of many working out of the Center Point Volunteer Fire Department's command post. "Concerned citizens are posting just right outside of our fire department. And they are coordinating and going on search groups as well," said Razor Dobbs with Center Point FD. For crews like Daniels' and the emergency responders, this is the start of the long, hard work to account for every person lost. "The goal is to bring everybody home. And there is no plan B," said Dobbs. For Jodi Carpenter, her daughter, and everyone else in the Hill Country, they're starting the long, hard work of healing. "We're going to have to figure out how to get in the water again. Not right now, but. Like we're going to have to get back there," said Jodi Carpenter.

‘It's sobering' volunteers search debris for bodies in Kerr County
CENTER POINT, Texas (KXAN) — While local, state and federal assets have been active across central Texas in the aftermath of Friday's deadly floods, volunteers are also helping out with efforts coordinated through first responders. On Sunday, Charlie Wolfe and Johnny Fjord assisted in Center Point, Texas. 'There was concern there was a body in the debris pile,' Fjord said. 'It's definitely a sobering thought. You know that it's either going to be someone you know or someone's child you know, so you know it's going to be very sobering for sure.' SUNDAY UPDATES: Search efforts continue in Central Texas after 'catastrophic' flash flooding He and Wolfe worked with a group coordinated by a local fire department. Center Point was also a primary location for various search and rescue efforts Sunday. It's downstream from where the floods began. According to the latest update Sunday, the death toll was at 68 in Kerr County, including 28 children. Some of the victims still haven't been identifies, and the total number of people unaccounted for is unknown. 'We're just here to serve and make sure everyone is recovered, so we can give these families some closure. So that's really where my mindset is at,' Wolfe said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
