Heartbreaking tragedy has struck Texas. At least 82 lives were lost to devastating floods over the Fourth of July weekend. Dozens remain missing as rescue teams search tirelessly. This disaster hit families enjoying holiday time together.
Torrential rain poured down overnight near Kerr County. The Guadalupe River jumped 26 feet in just 45 minutes. Dry Texas soil couldn’t soak up the sudden deluge. Campers and residents got trapped by the wall of water while asleep.
Terror struck a summer camp along the river. Over 20 children and counselors vanished in the floodwaters. Rescue workers keep hunting for these precious young souls. Families across Texas mourn loved ones swept away.
Governor Greg Abbott declared disaster zones immediately. He ordered all non-essential people to stay clear for rescue work. Abbott promised, “We’ll work day and night to help families recover.” Strong leaders act fast in crises.
Senator Ted Cruz stood with Texans in their darkest hour. He backed emergency crews risking everything. Cruz said, “America stands with Texas now.” True patriots support each other through pain.
Local volunteers showed amazing courage. Neighbors used boats to pull strangers from raging currents. This proves Texans help their own without waiting for government. Community bonds matter more than politics.
Questions linger about flood warnings. Some folks got alerts too late to escape. We need better alert systems to protect families next time. Emergency plans must put citizens first, not bureaucracy.
Texas will rebuild stronger than before. Our people have faith and determination. This great state won’t let tragedy define its future. God bless the victims and the heroes saving lives.
