Heavy rains have brought terrible flooding to Central Texas, killing many and leaving others missing. Senator John Cornyn visited the area and praised the brave rescue efforts. He told Texans to stay strong during this hard time.

Many children were at a summer camp when the water rushed in. Rescuers searched day and night for survivors. One little girl floated to safety on a mattress for hours. Her story shows real courage.
Emergency teams saved about 850 people from the floodwaters. They worked nonstop despite more rain coming. These heroes risked their lives to pull folks out of danger.
Senator Cornyn came to Kerrville to see the damage. He thanked the rescue teams for their hard work. Cornyn said they represent the best of Texas spirit.
He reminded everyone that Texans are tough and will rebuild. The senator called this a time for faith and community. His message was clear: we won’t let this break us.

The people here show true American grit. They help neighbors and trust in God. Texas will recover because its people never quit.
