Linda Bason, 78, and Deana Hillock, 58, had planned the trip as a special bonding experience. Linda’s husband had left town to spend the holiday weekend with his brother, according to a report from the San Antonio Express-News. The two women were looking forward to a relaxing time together, unaware of the danger that awaited them.
Unforeseen Disaster
The nightmare began before dawn on July 4 when the cabin where Linda and Deana were staying along the Guadalupe River was hit by sudden flooding. The water surge destroyed the entire campground and dozens of recreational vehicles parked there. The force of the flood was so strong that it left little to no chance for those caught in its path.
Robert Bason, Linda’s husband, described the event as a “girls weekend out” that quickly turned into a nightmare. He shared how family members rushed to Kerrville to search for Linda and Deana, hoping they had managed to reach higher ground or were taken to a hospital. Unfortunately, their remains were later recovered and identified on Thursday.

A Deep Loss
For Robert, the loss is devastating. He described Linda and Deana as the two most important people in his life. “And now they’re gone,” he said, expressing the deep grief he and his family are experiencing. The pair were not just family but also best friends, sharing a close bond that made the tragedy even more painful.
This incident is part of a larger tragedy, as several other families lost their lives during the floods while camping at the HTR Texas Hill Country campground. According to Robert, Linda and Deana “never had a chance” against the powerful waters.
Questions About Warnings
In a Facebook post, Robert tried to process the events and understand what went wrong. He used a printed map of the Kerrville area to mark notes and draw arrows showing how the floodwaters may have traveled. His message was clear: “Why no warning!” He emphasized the words twice, highlighting the frustration and confusion surrounding the lack of timely alerts.
Community Response
The community has been deeply affected by the tragedy. Local authorities and residents are working together to support the families involved and to ensure that lessons are learned from this disaster. As the investigation continues, many are calling for better communication systems to warn people about potential dangers, especially in areas prone to flooding.
Moving Forward
While the pain of losing loved ones is immense, the community is coming together to honor the memory of those who were lost. Support groups, memorials, and fundraising efforts are being organized to help the affected families and to raise awareness about the importance of flood preparedness.
As the days pass, the hope is that this tragedy will lead to meaningful changes that prevent similar incidents in the future. For now, the focus remains on healing, remembering, and ensuring that no one else suffers the same fate.
