Massive flooding in Texas!

Over 700 children were at a retreat camp in central Texas near Kerrville. The flood hit at 4 am this morning . 13 people are known dead and 23 campers were swept away by the water. The national guard is air lifting the kids out of there and others are searching the river and flooded area for any survivors.

They found a lady in a tree who had been camping this morning. She was washed about 31 miles down the river by the flood to another city. Found a tall cypress tree to latch onto and climb up in.

@BizSuitStacy I looked up the cities and yes it is about that far apart. The river rose so fast, they said 26 feet in 45 minutes !!!

@TexChik It was a huge camp and on both sides of the river.
