Two Girls Rescued From 30ft Tree Amid Texas Floods Killing 79

Amid devastating floods in Kerr County, Texas, two young girls reported missing were miraculously found alive, clinging to a tree nearly 30 feet high between Comfort and Homillus Road. This rare moment of hope comes as the county faces at least 79 confirmed deaths, including 28 children, many from the destroyed Camp Mystic Christian summer camp. The Guadalupe River surged 26 feet in 45 minutes, causing widespread destruction and prompting extensive search efforts deploying helicopters, boats, and drones that have rescued over 850 people. Despite earlier misinformation about the girls' rescue, multiple credible reports confirm their survival during ongoing operations that also recovered several bodies nearby. The threat of continued flooding remains as flash flood warnings persist with more rain expected. President Donald Trump has responded by activating federal aid through the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assist Texas in managing the crisis.
