Please pray for flood victims in Texas

A horrific flash flood hit the Texas Hill Country last night with the Guadalupe River rising too fast to warn anyone. Campgrounds and one kids' summer camp were flooded. Lots of children and adults are missing.

Obviously not from Texas but I just picked my son up from a summer camp a week ago. I hugged him very tight when I heard about all the flooding. I can’t imagine what those parents are going through. Definitely praying for them.

@CaliCanadianAngela We have a few relatives living in the area. One cousin retired there from Galveston in part to escape from hurricane country.

@Heartlander Our son's family moved there last summer. Part of their city was evacuated, but they live on top of a hill and are safe.

@exexec Just a 5 or 6 foot hill can may be enough. A brother lives on the Mississippi coast and just being on the north side of the Interstate-10 rise is enough to keep him safe ... so far.

@Heartlander That's true for us here on the coast, but you need more in the hill country. The river rose from 1 foot deep to 34 feet deep at one point, so you needed to be fairly high to escape its effects.
