‘EXTRAORDINARY DEVASTATION’: Texas river rose 30 feet in minutes (VIDEO)

In an unprecedented natural disaster, Central Texas is grappling with the aftermath of severe flooding that has claimed at least 32 lives, including 14 children, following the Guadalupe River’s dramatic rise of 30 feet in mere minutes. Governor Greg Abbott addressed the community, expressing his condolences and emphasizing the importance of unity during this trying time. “Over the past 24 to 48 hours, this community has faced extraordinary devastation,” he stated, urging residents to support one another.

The flooding has not ceased, with ongoing flash flood warnings for the region. Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp located along the river, was particularly hard-hit, leaving 27 campers unaccounted for. Rescue efforts are currently underway, with authorities reporting over 800 rescues, as search teams continue to scour the area for any signs of life amid the debris.

Mike Tobin, reporting from Texas, highlighted the scene from the air, where the river has receded but the destruction remains evident. Trees have been uprooted, and homes and vehicles were swept away by the powerful currents. Congressman Chip Roy documented the devastation from a helicopter tour, revealing the extent of the damage across multiple counties, extending from Hunt to Kerrville.

In response to the crisis, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem indicated that President Trump is poised to approve additional emergency aid for the affected regions. “You are not alone; the entire country is with you,” she assured residents, pledging federal support.

As rescue operations continue and recovery efforts begin, the situation remains dire, with three additional fatalities reported in surrounding areas. The community is left to mourn its losses and begin the long process of rebuilding from this catastrophic event, with many still holding on to hope for the missing campers.
