Kerrville families are broken-hearted as they search for missing loved ones after killer floods. Rescue teams work day and night pulling people from wrecked homes. Many Texans lost everything in the raging waters that swept through without warning.
Officials confirm over 90 dead with dozens still missing after the Guadalupe River exploded over its banks. Hardest hit was Camp Mystic where young girls and counselors drowned in their cabins. Camp director Dick Eastland died trying to save children from the surprise flood that hit while they slept.
Survivors tell frightening stories of waking to water crashing through walls. Brave neighbors formed human chains to pull strangers from rooftops as currents ripped cars down streets. Local heroes used fishing boats to rescue trapped families when official help couldn’t arrive fast enough.
Questions grow about why warnings failed as new flood watches hit the same devastated areas. The river shot up 22 feet in just two hours while families slept. Bureaucrats in Austin didn’t sound sirens or send alerts that could’ve saved lives. Common sense storm prep was ignored until it was too late.
Kerrville’s city manager admitted they were caught completely unprepared for this disaster. He called it impossible to predict while standing near destroyed homes. These same officials spent tax dollars on bike lanes instead of flood controls that could’ve slowed the river’s deadly rise.
Pastor Jim Kelly stood in his ruined church vowing to rebuild even as waters still threatened. “Nobody saw this coming,” he told reporters near piles of soaked Bibles. True Texas grit shows as volunteers bring food and chainsaws to clear mountains of debris.
The liberal media ignores how faith communities lead recovery while government stumbles. Church groups arrived with supplies before FEMA trailers were even unpacked. Private charities—not state agencies—are housing survivors and reuniting families torn apart by the floods.
This tragedy proves hardworking Texans don’t need big government—they need common-sense leadership that puts safety first. As the nation prays for Kerrville, we see America’s spirit alive in neighbors helping neighbors through unimaginable loss.
