Audio recordings obtained by ABC News reveal, for the first time, some of the desperate moments faced by Hill Country residents as floodwaters raged across Texas on the Fourth of July.
“We really need somebody,” a caller told a dispatcher. “My boyfriend is currently stuck in a tree out on the current.”
Another resident said that a man was stuck “in the middle of the river.”
These calls are among the more than 100 dispatch audio and 911 recordings from a Texas county — downriver from hard-hit Kerrville — released by the City of Boerne in response to an ABC News public records request.
ABC News has also requested 911 calls and dispatcher audio from Kerr County. The county has not responded to the request.
Boerne handles emergency communications in Kendall County, which borders Kerr County and was also affected by the tragic flooding.
