A young woman survived a harrowing ordeal after being swept 20 miles down Texas’ Guadalupe River during deadly floods. Devyn Smith clung to a tree for hours in raging floodwaters before her dramatic rescue. Her story highlights both tragedy and miracle amid catastrophic flooding that claimed over two dozen lives.
Devyn was camping with her family near Kerrville when flash floods struck without warning. The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in just 45 minutes, sweeping away their tents in the darkness. Six family members were carried off by the torrent, with Devyn fighting alone against the violent currents.
For over 15 miles, the raging waters dragged Devyn downstream before she grabbed a tree branch. She held on for hours, stranded several feet above the churning flood. A homeowner heard her cries and alerted rescuers, calling her survival an “absolute miracle” only possible through divine intervention.
Devyn’s entire family remains missing after being swept away. Search teams continue combing the disaster zone for her parents, sister, aunt, and uncle. Their tent campground was completely destroyed by the unprecedented flooding that caught everyone off guard.
These floods have killed at least 24 Texans so far, with dozens still unaccounted for whole towns were overwhelmed. Rescue crews saved over 200 people using helicopters and boats as entire communities were submerged. The disaster shows the brutal power of nature when storms hit without warning.
Heroic first responders worked tirelessly to pull Devyn from her tree perch after her nightmare journey downriver. Ordinary citizens like the homeowner who spotted her became unexpected heroes too. Their quick thinking and bravery saved a life against impossible odds.
This tragedy proves faith and prayer matter in our darkest hours. Devyn’s survival against all odds shows God’s hand protecting the innocent. While government warnings failed, her story reminds us divine grace still operates in this broken world.
Texas faces a long recovery from this disaster as searches continue for the missing. Patriots nationwide must support these resilient communities rebuilding after unimaginable loss. Our prayers remain with all affected by this devastating flood.
