At least 13 people have been killed and scores more are feared missing after historic floods inundated a Texas county.

Twenty three people are missing from Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, after the Guadalupe River flooded and surged by up to 30 feet above its usual water level Friday.

Terrified parents of those missing said they have been left in limbo as they await news from the ongoing searches, with the mother of one missing young campers, Janie Hunt, 9, saying: ‘We are just praying.’

Officials have stressed they hope to rescue many of the missing and say they’re still hopeful of finding most of those missing safe and well.

But the sheer scale of destruction - with buildings ripped from their foundations and cars swept away like toys - suggests that may be an overly optimistic prediction.

I don’t even have a clue what to say on this one Guy’s.

Best thing to say is to pray for all caught in it and their loved ones.

Did they NOT know the storm was coming? According to my retard local news mongos, they had to release from a dam which added to the down stream flooding.

Monday morning QB, but couldn’t you see the storm and pre-release water to allow for capacity?

Well at one place it rose 26 feet in 45 minutes… I’m not sure how you prepare for 26 feet of water in under an hour but, there you go.
We’ve still got rain falling and water rising
And this is why I live on the military crest of a large hill.

Condolences to the families of those who perished and best wishes for the missing and their families.

Weather predictions and projected river flows are all well and good, but sometimes you just roll freaking snake-eyes. Tragedies like these suck. Especially those involving so many children.

Death Toll is 78 now.

Any very arid terrain you always have to be careful of draws and washes. What look like a Draw can turn in to a Wash in twenty minutes.
It doesn’t happen often at NTC, but when it does, look out. The Terrain you knew yesterday aint what it is today.

Democrat-appointed Houston official claims devastated Texas summer camp was ‘Whites-only’ as search continues for missing children

Because after all it’s always about race.

11

Of course, I’ve already seen people blame federal budget cuts as the cause of the death toll.

A pediatrician has been fired over a vile post suggesting that the more than 80 killed in the horrific Texas floods — including dozens of kids — were Trump supporters who got “what they voted for.”

Dr. Christina B. Propst drew widespread scorn following the disparaging, since-deleted post under her old Facebook username, Chris Tina, according to Mediaite.
“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” Probst wrote in the now-viral post.
“Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.”

Propst’s employer, Blue Fish Pediatrics, initially said the employee had been suspended — before announcing that “the individual is no longer employed” by them.

It’s odd to me how much hate there is for some kids going to Camp.

A Houston mayoral appointee went ballistic by criticizing a Texas camp site where seven little girls perished in floodwaters - then blaming Donald Trump for the tragedy. In a series of cruel videos, Sade Perkins vented her frustrations, calling Camp Mystic ‘whites only Christian camp’ hours after a heavy deluge ripped through in Hunt on the Fourth of July. ‘I know I’m going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls’ Christian camp,’ she raged on TikTok as girls were still missing.
They don’t even have a token Asian. They don’t have a token black person. It’s an all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp.’ Perkins (pictured) was admonished by Houston Mayor John Whitmire, who said he would take steps to remove her from the board. However, she doubled down by blaming Trump, Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick for the tragedy, describing it as ‘totally preventable.’
She complained she had become ‘the scapegoat to cover up for the [expletive] of a flood’, instead arguing the ‘reason’ for the natural disaster was ‘of course your friendly MAGA Trump up there in the White House .’ ‘I did not cause the flood, nor did I cause the failure from the National Weather Service and FEMA. Those were done by design, by the Lieutenant, and by the Governor, and your [expletive] President,’ she said. Perkins was admonished by Mayor Whitmire, who issued a statement apologizing for the horrifying comments as the death toll rose to 82, including 23 children and seven girls from the summer camp.
But Perkins had no regrets after being publicly scolded by the mayor on Sunday, instead doubling down on her extraordinary attack on the camp. ‘You people are [explerive] crazy, you people are insane,’ she said of her critics. 'And the video is still up and I still stand behind - 10 toes down on the [expletive]ground. 'That [expletive] is racism and white supremacy, period. ‘If it was Hispanic kids, if it was LGBTQ kids that got swept away y’all wouldn’t give a [expletive] and them same MAGA people would be saying they deserve it and that it’s God’s will, so [expletive]all y’all.’

The Weather Service began warning Folks on Tuesday of potential floooding exisited.
Wendsday they activated Emergency Responce Teams.
Thursday they issued an even more stern warning of imminent flooding. The Governor personally callled all the Judges and Mayors and warned them.
3:55 pm a Flood Warning was issued by the National Weather Service.
Friday, July 4th:

At 12:42 a.m., the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio posted on X upgrading its flood watch to a flood warning for part of the impacted area. In a post from 2:14 a.m., that area was expanded. A flood warning occurs when flooding is imminent or already happening.

At 1:26 a.m., the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center said “flash flooding likely overnight with significant impacts possible.” This message was posted on X a minute later.

Around 3:30 a.m. the Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said he was out for an early morning jog along the Guadalupe River and saw “not a drop of rain,” according to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who recounted his conversation with the city manager. Rice added that he left around 4 a.m. when “there was very light rain…We did not see any signs of the river rising at that time.”

At 4:06 a.m. the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio posted on X: “A very dangerous flash flooding event is ongoing.” It ended: “Turn Around, Don’t Drown!”

Then, at 5:15 a.m. the National Weather Service San Angelo posted on X that there was a flash flood emergency. The Austin/San Antonio office posted on its X account about the emergency at 5:23 a.m. This type of alert is “exceedingly rare” and used when there is a “severe threat to human life and catastrophic damage,” according to the National Weather Service.

Between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m., the Guadalupe River surged, with water levels rapidly rising as much as 30 feet, according to Rep. Roy. Local TV footage showed the empty foundations of houses, where everything else had been swept away.

For many they had went to sleep, lost power and didn’t have any more warnings about flooding until the water got them.
I don’t see a lot more that could have been done, at some point you warn people and then it is up to them to take action.
Nobody opened a damn or released water.

Democrats from all backgrounds began blaming President Donald Trump over the weekend for the recent Texas floods, citing budgetary cuts that haven’t even gone into effect yet.
Even progressive Democrat and former State Senator Nina Turner had to point out that the financial cuts liberals are slamming, have not yet been implemented.
“The GOP’s budget cuts to NOAA are set to take effect at the start of fiscal year 2026, which begins on October 1, 2025,” she wrote Sunday, on the social media website X. “Anyone making the deaths of the children in Texas about partisan politics is morally bankrupt. Please reflect.”

Texas Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said on CNN Sunday, that climate change was “obviously" a factor, The Hill reported.

“I think climate change is obviously a part of it," he said. “These floods are happening more often in more parts of the country, and really all over the world, and so we have to face that reality and be better prepared for it and combat it.”
Washington state’s Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee jumped on the climate change bandwagon as well, and wrote on X that: “It is hard to make the Texas flood tragedy worse, except to know that on the same day Trump signed a bill cratering solar and wind energy that is vital in the battle against the climate change making these torrential rains more frequent.”

These were only some of the Democratic voices launching a [barrage]of hatred towards Trump, Republicans, and even the state of Texas.

The NWS did their jobs, nobody is directly to blame except the people responcible for the safety of those children.

Some official in TX was interviewed and reported that water was released upstream to prevent structural damage to the reserve. Not saying this is fact, but it was reported as such.

17

Ahem, FORMER Head Asshat… the current Asshat-in-Chief is even worse.

18

Currently, likley to exceed 100 dead, and how many missing? The vids of how fast the water rose seem almost impossible.

19

I’m a bit taken back by the Political Hate from the Left, but they are truely a bitter bunch of folks aren’t they?
Once you straighten out all of the facts I think you will find out that No One is Guilty of anything here.
One in a Million event and folks decided to 4th of July and not worry about the rain.
People do it everyday.

That’s why I’m really not comforable watching someone else’s kids.
More on why this was reported often and early and ignored.
