Horrific flash floods tore through Texas over the July 4th holiday. At least 82 people died, with dozens still missing. Children at a summer camp were swept away in the raging Guadalupe River.
This disaster hit while families slept during the holiday weekend. Rain poured down fast—up to 12 inches in hours. The river exploded, rising 26 feet in just 45 minutes. Nobody had time to escape the walls of water crashing through the Hill Country.
Lives were lost because warnings failed. Weather alerts came too late for many. The soil couldn’t absorb the rain, making floods worse. This tragedy shows nature’s raw power over human plans.
Government slow-walked the response as Texans drowned. Lives might’ve been saved with faster action. Washington’s disaster declaration came days too late for folks in Kerr County.
Past floods prove this region drowns too often. Yet leaders ignored history. They didn’t prepare our communities. Now we’re left counting bodies instead of fireworks.
Rescue teams scour the riverbanks for missing kids. Hope fades for those young girls at Camp Mystic. Their families beg for miracles while officials make excuses.
Washington’s red tape strangles real help. Temporary housing and loans won’t bring back the dead. Texans deserve protection, not paperwork.
Our hearts break for the victims. But Texans are strong. We rebuild when others quit. This flood won’t crush our spirit.
