Texas Hill Country Floods Kill Over 100

News summary

Catastrophic flash floods struck the Texas Hill Country over the July Fourth weekend, resulting in over 100 confirmed deaths, many of them children, and leaving more than 160 people still missing as search and rescue efforts continue. At Camp Mystic, a century-old all-girls summer camp, 27 campers and counselors were killed, highlighting the deadly unpredictability of flash floods in the region's limestone hills. Survivors and residents recounted harrowing escapes, while individuals like Jonathan McComb, who lost his family in a previous flood, have returned to aid recovery efforts. First responders from across Texas and international crews have joined ongoing searches, as officials face scrutiny over warning systems and emergency response timelines. Governor Greg Abbott and national leaders have pledged support, but hope for finding more survivors is fading. The tragedy has left communities mourning and searching for ways to better protect vulnerable populations from future floods.
