The floods in Texas Hill Country are a heartbreaking tragedy. At least 133 people have died, with 101 still missing. Kerr County suffered the worst, with 106 deaths. Among the dead are 36 innocent children.
This disaster started on July Fourth. Heavy rains caused the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in just 45 minutes. Entire neighborhoods were swept away. Cabins, camps, and roads vanished under the water. The land there is called “flash flood alley” for good reason.
Children at Camp Mystic were hit especially hard. Many kids are still missing today. Families are broken. Communities are holding vigils, but rain keeps stopping them. This feels like a cruel joke from nature.
The storms came from leftover tropical moisture. But make no mistake—this wasn’t just bad luck. Thin soil and rocky land made the floods race downhill faster. When government ignores land management, this is what happens.
Danger isn’t over yet. New floods this week stopped rescue teams. Roads and bridges are underwater again. Crews lost days searching because of rain. Weather forecasts warn more downpours are coming.
Thankfully, patriots stepped up. Local heroes led rescues from day one. President Trump’s support was immediate and strong. Texas didn’t wait for federal paperwork—they acted. This is how Americans handle crises: with courage, not bureaucracy.
Recovery will take years. Groups like Mercury One give 100% of donations to victims—every penny helps. Real charities put people first, not politics. Give now to show Texas we stand with them.
The spirit of Texas won’t be drowned. These floods show our strength when we pull together. God bless the victims, and God bless those rebuilding.
