Texas Flood: Death Toll Rises to 51, Dozens Still Missing!
by Alex Ingram in NewsA desperate search for dozens of missing campers, including children, continues after devastating floods in Texas claimed at least 51 lives. Four girls from a summer camp were found dead, adding to the at least 15 children killed in what Texas Congressman Chip Roy called a "once-in-a-century flood." Over 850 people have been rescued or evacuated. The floods, caused by torrential rain and unexpected flash flooding, washed away homes and vehicles. 27 girls are still missing from Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp. Texas officials are prioritizing search and rescue efforts, but the devastation is widespread. An expert has called for better early-warning systems for intense storms, citing climate change as a contributing factor. President Trump expressed his condolences and pledged support.
