The devastating Texas floods have claimed at least 111 lives, with over 170 still missing. Kerr County was hit hardest, reporting 87 deaths—many from Camp Mystic, a summer camp for girls. Rescue teams are working nonstop through debris and floodwaters to locate survivors, but hopes are fading as days pass.
Sisters Blair and Brooke Harber, just 13 and 11, were found holding hands after being swept away. Brooke’s final text to her family read: “I love you.” Meanwhile, 21-year-old Joyce Badon was last heard saying, “They just got washed away,” before her call dropped. She and others were later confirmed dead.
Camp Mystic director Richard Eastland died while trying to save young campers. His dedication is remembered as a final act of love. The Wilson family’s tragedy also struck deeply—father Jeff was found deceased, while his wife and son remain missing.
