Two young sisters were found dead, still holding hands, after flash floods swept through Central Texas early Friday morning. Blair Harber, 13, and her sister Brooke, 11, from Dallas, sent a final message to their family at 3:30 a.m. before the rising waters carried them away from a house in Hunt to where they were found 15 miles downstream in Kerrville.
Republican lawmaker Rep. August Pfluger (TX) announced that he was reunited with his daughters in the aftermath of the Texas floods. His daughters were evacuated from Camp Mystic.
In what rescuers are calling a miracle, a woman from Midland, Texas, was found clinging to a tree after being swept 20 miles downstream by the flooded Guadalupe River on Independence Day. The woman, camping with family near Hunt-Ingram, was caught in rising floodwaters that overtook their vehicle as they attempted to flee to higher ground.
A deadly flood struck Kerr County, Texas, on Independence Day, leaving at least 24 people dead and 23 girls missing from a Christian summer camp near Hunt. The flood, triggered by torrential rain along the Guadalupe River, turned deadly in the early morning hours as waters rose over 26 feet in just three hours.
