Texas Floods Kill 82, Spur Crypto Aid Discussion

Catastrophic floods in Texas have claimed at least 82 lives, with dozens still missing, prompting urgent appeals for aid from both celebrities and officials. Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Hilary Duff, and Shakira have all voiced support, with Shakira pledging concert proceeds to disaster relief efforts. The flooding, driven largely by the overflowing Guadalupe River, has devastated communities in central Texas, especially Kerr County. A federal disaster declaration has enabled the mobilization of resources and emergency responders to assist in recovery operations. Additionally, the crisis has spurred discussion about the growing use of cryptocurrency to enhance transparency and efficiency in fundraising for disaster relief. Continued heavy rains threaten further flooding in the region.
