Devastating Floods Submerge Texas, Claiming at Least 81 Lives
Catastrophic flash floods have ripped through Texas, leaving a trail of destruction and claiming the lives of at least 81 people, with authorities warning more rain is possible. The hardest-hit area is the Texas Hill Country, a region unfortunately familiar with sudden, intense flooding.
Emergency responders are still working tirelessly to rescue those stranded and recover the missing. The Camp Mystic, a youth camp near Dallas, experienced a harrowing evacuation, with campers describing scenes of widespread devastation. Tragically, a beloved camp counselor was among those lost.
While the region has faced flash floods before, the sheer scale of this disaster has caught many off guard. The relentless downpour overwhelmed drainage systems and turned normally tranquil creeks into raging torrents. Grief and resilience now mark the landscape as communities begin the long road to recovery.
