Searchers in the Hill Country are combing through the debris, while utilizing whatever they can to help bring families closure.
INGRAM, Texas — Search and rescue efforts are still not stopping in Ingram now on day seven following the flood.
First responders and volunteers are also finding belongings that had been swept away in the flood seven days ago while they are sifting through the debris.
Hundreds of first responders in Ingram are searching miles for those still missing. Combing through debris, while utilizing whatever they can to help bring families closure.
Search and rescue teams break out in four to eight mile sections, leaving not a single stone unturned as they continue combing through the area.
First responders can be seen, even on horseback, in this active emergency.
The destruction is evident all along the Guadalupe River as the flood even sent boats through trees.
“This bridge was actually washed out during, the destruction and all the guardrails and everything,” said Jeremy Proffitt, Assistant Fire Marshal, Andrews County. “So the flood wiped it out. We do have restricted access down here. We have DPS patrolling and stationed down here, making sure that no unauthorized personnel are down here.”
There are an overwhelming amount of first responders in the area.
The personal belongings found will eventually be at Ingram Old Band Hall for families to recover.
