Texas Hill Country Floods Kill 110, Leave 160 Missing as Virginia Sends Rescue Teams

News summary

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin revealed that his wife, Suzanne Youngkin, along with other family members and friends, were stranded and later rescued from their property near the Guadalupe River in Texas during deadly floods that claimed over 100 lives and left many missing. Despite being in Virginia at the time, Youngkin maintained contact with his family and declined an offer from Texas officials to airlift them immediately, prioritizing rescue efforts for local campers and residents in more critical danger. The Youngkin family has deep generational ties to the Texas Hill Country region, with Suzanne Youngkin’s family having owned property there for over 80 years and connections to local camps affected by the flooding. In response to the disaster, Virginia deployed swift water rescue teams to assist Texas through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. Governor Youngkin expressed gratitude for the rescue efforts and called for prayers and support for the flood victims, emphasizing the region's longstanding personal significance to his family. Recovery efforts remain ongoing amid the widespread devastation and loss.
