Texas Floods Kill Country Singer Pat Green’s Brother, Multiple Relatives

The devastating floods in Texas Hill Country have claimed at least 120 lives, with more than 170 people still missing, marking one of the worst flash flood disasters in the nation's recent history. Among the victims is country singer Pat Green's younger brother John, his wife Julia, and two of their children, who were swept away in Kerrville while staying in an RV near the Guadalupe River; John reportedly died trying to save his children. Pat Green and his family have expressed profound grief and requested privacy as they mourn their loss. Senator Ted Cruz, who was on vacation in Greece when the flooding occurred, immediately contacted state officials and President Donald Trump and has since returned to Texas to aid in response efforts. Cruz described the tragedy at Camp Mystic, where 27 campers and counselors died, as heartbreaking and emphasized the need to review the timeline of warnings and rescue efforts. The disaster has affected many families, with ongoing search and rescue operations continuing amid concerns over additional rainfall in the region.
