Texas Man Dies Saving Family Amid Widespread Independence Day Floods

News summary

Julian Ryan, a 27-year-old father and fiancé from Ingram, Texas, tragically died after heroically saving his family during catastrophic flooding caused by the Guadalupe River rising more than 26 feet in a few hours on Independence Day. As floodwaters rapidly filled their home, Ryan punched out a window to help his fiancée, children, and mother escape to the roof, severing an artery in his arm in the process and eventually succumbing to his injuries. Despite repeated 911 calls, emergency responders could not reach them in time, and Ryan’s body was recovered only after the waters receded. His family and community have hailed him as a hero, with his fiancée emphasizing the need for better flood warnings such as sirens to prevent future tragedies. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to support Ryan’s family, raising funds beyond its initial goal. The flooding also left at least 27 children missing from a nearby summer camp, highlighting the severe impact of the flash floods on the region.
