On July 4th, while many were celebrating Independence Day 🇺🇸, a devastating flood hit Central Texas. Heavy rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to overflow, leading to catastrophic flooding.
Sadly, over 90 people have lost their lives, and several girls from Camp Mystic, a summer camp, are still missing after being swept away by the surging waters. 💔
Rescue teams are working tirelessly across 12 counties to find survivors and help those affected. Officials are calling this the deadliest flood disaster in Texas in decades.
One survivor shared their scary experience of being caught in the floodwaters. They described how quickly the water rose and how they clung to a tree for hours until help arrived.
Communities are coming together to support each other during this difficult time. It’s important to stay safe during floods by listening to authorities and avoiding flooded areas.
