Floods Kill 59, Hundreds Rescued, Dozens Missing in Texas Camp

News summary

Rep. August Pfluger of Texas confirmed that he and his wife have been reunited with their two daughters who were safely evacuated from Camp Mystic, a historic Christian girls' summer camp along the Guadalupe River that was devastated by deadly flash flooding. The flooding, which caused the river to rise 26 feet in less than an hour, resulted in at least 59 deaths in Kerr County, including five confirmed fatalities at the camp, and left 27 campers and one counselor missing. Pfluger expressed gratitude for the heroic actions of camp counselors and first responders from local, state, and federal agencies who have been working tirelessly to rescue survivors and recover victims. The camp’s co-owner, Dick Eastland, was among those who lost their lives, reportedly sacrificing himself to save the campers. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has pledged continued search efforts until all missing persons are found, and a disaster declaration has been issued for Kerr County and surrounding areas. The tragedy has brought widespread grief, with families mourning losses while holding out hope for survivors.
