Heartbreaking news from Texas where devastating floods have claimed at least 81 lives, including 28 children. The extreme weather has left communities reeling and emergency teams working round the clock. 😢
The chaos began when torrential rain caused the Guadalupe River to break its banks, unleashing flash floods that swept through regions northwest of San Antonio. Over 850 people have been rescued — some found clinging to trees — as the shock of rapid flooding continues to unsettle many residents.
A particularly tragic blow hit Camp Mystic, a nearly century-old Christian girls' summer camp, where 10 campers and one counselor remain missing. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who toured the area, described the scenes as nothing short of horrific and warned that more heavy rainfall could bring further danger in the coming days.
In response, President Donald Trump sent his condolences and signaled a possible visit soon, while FEMA and U.S. Coast Guard helicopters and planes ramp up search and rescue operations. Our thoughts are with everyone affected—stay safe and look out for one another! 🙏
