Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday authorized flags be flown at half-staff throughout the state to honor people who lost their lives in the recent Texas floods.

“I hereby authorize flags be flown at half-staff effective immediately on the grounds of the Alabama State Capitol Complex in Montgomery and throughout the state of Alabama until sunrise Monday, July 14, 2025, in honor of those who lost their lives, including those from Alabama, in the recent deadly Texas Hill Country flooding,” she wrote in a release Wednesday.

Over 100 people lost their lives in the floods, including eight-year-old Sarah Marsh, of Mountain Brook, and many more are still missing, including Eddie Santana Sr., 69, and his wife, Ileana, 66, from Mobile and their granddaughter, five-year-old Mila Rosa Santana.

Ivey said the order was made in solidarity with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who ordered Texas flags across the state to be lowered to half-staff until July 14.

“In solidarity with Texas and Governor Greg Abbott, I have ordered flags across Alabama to be flown at half-staff in honor of those who lost their lives — including Alabamians — in the floods in the Texas Hill Country, “ Ivey wrote in a post to Facebook.

“Flags should be lowered until sunrise Monday.”

As of Wednesday morning, the flood is reported to have killed over 120 people, about a third of them children, according to Newsweek.

Abbott said this week that authorities will work around the clock to find those that are still missing.

“Right now, our #1 job is to find every single missing person,” he wrote in a post to X.

“We will not leave until that job is done.”

President Donald Trump signed a major disaster declaration Sunday for Kerr County, activating the Federal Emergency Management Agency to Texas.
