Floods along the Guadalupe River have claimed the lives of 47 people since 1998, with an average of 4.7 fatalities per year. According to a New York Times analysis of data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this staggering statistic highlights the devastating impact of flooding in the area. The Guadalupe River basin has seen its fair share of disasters, including the October 1998 floods that killed 12 people and injured 4,290.
The statistics are stark: since 1998, there have been 35 additional fatalities due to flooding in the region. This is a sobering reminder of the importance of respecting the power of nature.
