Texas Floods: Was This Disaster Avoidable? 79 Dead & Dozens Missing | Oneindia News
As rescue teams race against time in the flood-ravaged Texas Hill Country, chilling questions are emerging about whether this catastrophe could have been prevented.
A catastrophic flash flood has torn through Central Texas, leaving a trail of devastation and a rising death toll of at least 79 people, with dozens still unaccounted for. The disaster struck with shocking speed before dawn, as the Guadalupe River surged an unprecedented 26 feet in just 45 minutes. This terrifying wall of water swept away homes, vehicles, and summer camps, giving residents and campers mere minutes to react. The event has turned serene landscapes into disaster zones, prompting a massive search and rescue operation.
Kerr County has been hit the hardest, reporting 59 fatalities, a number that tragically includes 21 children who were camping near the river. Among the missing are eleven children and a counselor from Camp Mystic, a detail that has left the entire community in shock and grief. The tragedy extends to Travis, Burnet, and Kendall counties, where more casualties have been confirmed. Authorities are deploying helicopters, drones, and boats in a desperate search for survivors and victims, with over 850 people already rescued from rooftops, trees, and isolated areas.
As families and volunteers join the desperate search efforts, many are beginning to ask hard questions about the timeliness and adequacy of the flood warnings. With flood watches still in effect and more rain in the forecast, the situation remains critical. Officials have vowed to continue the search until every last missing person is found, but the scale of this natural disaster has left a permanent scar on Central Texas.

A horrifying flash flood has devastated Kerr County in south-central Texas, killing 24 people and leaving 20 girls missing from a Christian summer camp. President Donald Trump reacted to the tragedy, calling the incident “terrible” and “shocking.” Search and rescue teams are racing against time, using boats and helicopters to save lives.
237 people have been rescued, including 167 by helicopter, but the search continues, especially around Camp Mystic, where the missing girls were last seen. Eyewitnesses, including 13-year-old Elinor Lester, described the terrifying moment helicopters swooped in as floodwaters rose to 29.5 feet, destroying everything. A river gauge in Hunt malfunctioned under the massive surge. The Guadalupe River turned into a death trap after days of relentless rain. Authorities warn the toll could rise as operations continue through the night.
