Texas Flash Floods Kill 87, Rescue Efforts Save 165 Victims
Catastrophic flash flooding along the Guadalupe River in Central Texas on July 4 resulted in at least 87 deaths, including many children and camp counselors, with numerous individuals still missing. The Salvation Army has deployed mobile feeding units to serve affected communities like Hunt, Ingram, and Kerrville, including those areas that had been cut off due to flooding. A heroic rescue effort was led by Coast Guard Petty Officer Scott Ruskan, who saved over 165 people, mostly children at Camp Mystic, by coordinating triage and evacuation despite dangerous conditions; his courage was praised by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The National Weather Service issued timely flash flood watches and warnings before the floodwaters rose rapidly, with emergency alerts sent to residents, though challenges remain in ensuring effective response after warnings are disseminated. Among tragic losses was Julian Ryan, who died attempting to save his family during the floods, underscoring the human cost amid these extreme weather events. As recovery continues, authorities and experts will review the disaster response to improve future preparedness and safety measures.
