Texas Flash Floods: River Rises 26 Feet in 45 Minutes Amidst Search for Missing Children
Texas Faces Devastating Flash Floods: River Rises 26 Feet in Minutes Texas is grappling with the aftermath of severe flash floods that have caused widespread destruction and prompted a desperate search for missing persons. The Guadalupe River, which was previously dry, reportedly rose an astonishing 26 feet in just 45 minutes, transforming into a destructive torrent that submerged residential areas. Aerial footage reveals the extent of the disaster, showing numerous houses and vehicles inundated by the floodwaters. Emergency services have been actively involved in rescue operations, with one scene capturing a helicopter airlifting an individual to safety. Governor Dan Patrick addressed the public, stating that the disastrous flash flood struck in the early morning hours. The floods have tragically claimed 24 lives, and a desperate search continues for approximately 20 children who were swept away from Camp Mystic, a summer camp located on the banks of the Guadalupe River, which hosts over 750 children. US President Donald Trump has described the disaster as "terrible" and "shocking," underscoring the gravity of the situation.
