Tragic Toll of Texas Flash Floods: Over 70 Lives Lost, Including 21 Children
In a devastating turn of events, central Texas has been engulfed by flash floods, resulting in the loss of at least 70 lives, among them 21 children. The crisis, which has impacted multiple counties, reached its worst in Kerr County, where a Christian youth camp along the River Guadalupe was swept away, leaving the community in mourning.
Efforts to locate survivors and recover victims are underway, with hundreds of rescuers mobilized to search for those unaccounted for. Sheriff Larry Leitha of Kerr County assured the public that the rescue operations will persist "until everyone is found," highlighting the community’s commitment to support those affected.
The catastrophic flooding has also claimed lives in Travis County and Tom Green County, amplifying the state’s grief. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared a state of disaster, pledging to enhance search and recovery operations. He vowed that officials would be “relentless” in their pursuit to locate every individual impacted by this natural disaster, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
As multiple flash flood warnings remain in effect, the enormity of this tragedy is palpable. In a heartfelt response, President Trump remarked on social media about the profound suffering these families are experiencing, underscoring the widespread impact of the floods.
Amidst the chaos, local and state officials continue to coordinate efforts to establish safety and provide relief. The journey toward healing and recovery will be long, as the community grapples with the scale of their loss and the pursuit of hope amid heartache.
As the search for survivors continues, the nation watches closely, united in sorrow and solidarity with those affected by these catastrophic flash floods.

My sympathy goes for wild animals and trees of texas only🤣
This is not the first time that Trump has blood on his hands, Unfortunately after the Texas flooding, it won't be the last. If you voted this POS, then you too are responsible and Texas is red!
Who needs FEMA or National Weather Services when we’ve got Thoughts and Prayers?
Oh absolutely, children’s lives matter… but only if they’re within the right borders and fit the preferred headline aesthetic
My deepest condolences for the family and everyone there God please be with them in this difficult time 😢 my prayers to all
Seek your maker with all your heart and soul. We are living in times foretold by Lord
trump will make it all better by throwing paper towels at you and blame Joe Biden for it
Maybe their God has had enough of Maga cruelty
Probably a message, including children and center. It's still heartbreaking. 😢
God I miss NOAA in this flood… truly wish we had had that resource to save those girls, counselors, owners and loved ones lost in the ever rising waters of authoritarianism❤❤❤

At least that FEMA funding is going to arresting farm hands and waitresses.
The most important thing is to understand that our wants and greed are helping nature to change by consuming things that add dramatically to such catastrophic events. We as individuals need to reduce dramatically our selfish use of Co2 requirements. We are all responsible for the deaths caused by these events clearly caused by climate change. We all need to be more circumspect and dramatically reduce our needs on carbon.
But didn't maga say climate change isn't important?🤔🤔🤔
GOD’s JUDGMENT UPON YOU!
Meanwhile the genocide of 30k children goes on in Gaza
🕌🕌🕌🕌🕌
Happy 4th, America.
Even though Emergency Alerts went out. The Authorities, Police and Fire Fighters should have been deployed, because just about Everyone obviously was in bed and wouldn't have had time to react to the Emergency Alerts. In a situation as this, Police and Fire Fighters should be deployed to ensure Public Safety…GOD BLESS AND GODSPEED
I just can’t imagine sending my baby to camp & not seeing them again. Lord be with those babies parents ✝️🤍😢🕊️
My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost their loved ones.
As a technology enthusiast with over 10 years of experience in Telecom, I am still trying to grasp the difficulty of implementing an early warning system that can automatically alert people well in advance, allowing them to get out of harm's way. Communication has become so advanced that we can engage in real-time conversations and even translations with loved ones on the other side of the planet, with virtually no delay at all, so this type of situation can be avoided. There is some level of negligence, failure, or even a lack of a coordination system. I hope the truth will come out and we will learn from these incidents.
They got what they voted for
They aren't dancing in the streets anymore
You got enough money and technology to conduct wars in the distant places but no money or technology to protect people at home 😢
Yeah, let's build homes and businesses right on the banks of a river. What could go wrong?
Yes this is sad. But these are the same families who celebrate when immigrant families are destroyed. There is no substitute for experience.
God did not do this. Trump's negligence did this.
Billionaires got their tax cuts.
TX… the maga conned highly racist anus of the USA
Sucks to be Texas
التغير المناخي والحرارة ،تسبب الكوارث،تعازينا القلبية للشعب الامريكي
Climate change causes disasters. Our heartfelt condolences to the American people.
Thats nothing compare to future floods. Global warming already here and an idiot doesnt cut co2 emissions
if it were china, nothing like this would have happened.
😢
gOD said F~U TX!….
u maga conned racist trumpers asked for this bs
The father of his missing girl, you can just feel his desperation and sorrow for his daughter. 😢
Thoughts and prayers.
Shame they voted for a president who gave FEMA miney to ICE and cut the funding on warning systems, I'll send you a prayer 🙄
Why would 'god' let this happen? The little girls were on a Christian camp.
There's no registration for campers out on their own, so fatalities are likely over 150…
Trump's fault thanks to his cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service
Heartbreaking 💔
Americans are still no further on with making their country great, so fixated on immigration rather than building their broken country to make it safe. Backwards people, backwards country.
1st the FAA and now NOAA have been negatively impacted by the tRump federal cuts. This is what happens when you vote for STUPID.
If only they had institution that would monitor the weather and predict the flooding
Now they have emergency alerts coming on the phones, two days ago they didn't. It doesn't make sense.
THEY GOT ABOUT 2 MILLION ILLEGALS IN TEXAS, AND COULD NOT PAY A CHEAP SECURITY IN THE CAMP, THATS HUNGRY FOR MONEY———————-IT HAPPEN BEFORE NO DISASTER
There was need for speed on Friday 😢😢😢
Our Prime Minister must spend the Farmer John Price to Texas to prevent this from ever happening again
I cant get over the level of negligence in texas. Where this happened it has happened multiple times in the past 100 years. The geography insures it will continue to happen. To put a camp for kids in a flashflood zone is the height of stupidity. Then to ignore a storm of this magnitude, with major warnings two days in advance. WTF?
Mother Earth isn't going to protect you just because you're Christian! Good luck with your horrible morals and values.
So heartbreaking . God bless your souls
Wouldn’t trust what these people say, they protect those who commit genocide
