Flash Floods in West Texas and Why Preparedness Matters in Houston
Our hearts go out to the families affected by the catastrophic flash flooding in West Texas during early July. More than 119 lives were tragically lost, including 27 young campers and counselors at Camp Mystic near Hunt. The Guadalupe River surged between 22 and 26 feet in less than an hour, sweeping away cabins, cars, and cherished memories. Reports describe heart-wrenching scenes: bunk beds submerged in mud, personal belongings scattered, and heroic rescue efforts involving helicopters, boats, and drones. These heartbreaking moments remind us just how quickly nature can change everything and how important it is to be prepared, even when we feel far removed from the storm..
