Flood Rescue Finds Two Girls Alive 30 Feet Up Texas Tree

Two girls were miraculously rescued alive from a tree nearly 30 feet high in the flood zone between Comfort and Center Point, Texas, after clinging on for over a day and being found six miles downstream. This rare moment of hope comes amid the catastrophic flooding that has claimed at least 70 lives, including many children, and left dozens missing, especially at Camp Mystic, a girls' camp severely affected by the disaster. Rescue teams from multiple agencies continue to search a 30-mile stretch along the Guadalupe River, utilizing helicopters, boats, and K9 units in difficult conditions, while Governor Greg Abbott warned of further flash flooding risks. The flood, triggered by unprecedented rains causing the Guadalupe River to surge 26 feet in under an hour, has led to over 800 rescues and widespread devastation across Kerr and Kendall counties. The heroic efforts of individuals like Camp Mystic's director, who died protecting campers, have been widely acknowledged, as the community mourns and hopes for more survivors. Authorities report ongoing recovery operations, with at least 41 people still missing and the death toll expected to rise.
