Back-to-back floods in the Texas Hill Country have heavily impacted RV parks and campgrounds, which are particularly vulnerable in one of the most flood-prone regions in the U.S. At least 44 of the 119 people who died in Kerr County last year were staying in RVs or rental cabins, with 39 swept away from two adjacent parks, HTR TX Hill Country and Blue Oak RV Park, according to the San Antonio Express-News. The flooding has prompted debate over whether cities and counties should further limit where RVs and cabins can be located, balancing restrictions with the appeal of riverfront living. Andrew Rumbach of the Urban Institute noted that RV parks often sit in flood zones due to scenic, cheaper land, but light, unanchored vehicles can be quickly engulfed by water, making escape impossible.

The Whitewater River is expected to crest at 23 feet around 2 p.m. Thursday.
