A Tragedy of Unimaginable Scale
The Fourth of July holiday weekend turned into a nightmare for the Texas Hill Country region. A relentless deluge, with rainfall reaching a staggering 15 inches in just a few hours, caused the
Guadalupe River to surge beyond its banks with terrifying speed. The ensuing flash floods tore through communities, submerging homes, destroying property, and tragically stealing the lives of at least 104 people, including 28 innocent children. Thousands were displaced, left with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the overwhelming weight of what they had lost.
