A catastrophic flash flood in Texas on Friday caused the Guadalupe River to surge nearly 30 feet in just 45 minutes, killing at least 13 people and leaving 20 children missing from Camp Mystic, a Christian youth camp with over 750 attendees.
The National Guard and emergency services have launched rescue operations, with helicopters evacuating children and search efforts ongoing. Local infrastructure is overwhelmed, with nearly 3,000 residents without power and funeral homes unable to cope with the number of casualties.
Officials have declared a state of emergency, and shelters have been set up as reunification efforts continue.
Helicopters are now rescuing missing children after several were reported missing from Camp Mystic, a popular Christian summer camp in Texas, following severe flash flooding.

Another ‘weaponized weather event’ by the powers that ought not be.
Oh my goodness that’s just what I thought.
Just like here in New Zealand. I have a small plane that goes over me and flies around and around regularly before rain is forecast……makes me wonder what kind of other stuff they would spray before rain in winter???
