By now, most Americans have likely heard about the July 4th tragedy in central Texas.
In the early hours of Independence Day, intense thunderstorms dumped up to 15 inches of rain in parts of Kerr County in just a few short hours. The Guadalupe River surged more than 26 feet in 45 minutes, overwhelming everything in its path. So far, the resulting flash floods have claimed 70 lives.
Families sifted through waterlogged debris Sunday and stepped inside empty cabins at Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp ripped apart by flash floods that washed homes off their foundations and killed at least 70 people in central Texas.
Rescuers maneuvering through challenging terrain continued their desperate search for the missing, including 11 girls and a counselor from the camp. How many more remain unaccounted for across the Texas Hill Country and beyond remains unclear as authorities haven’t given an estimate even though it has been three days since the storm began pounding the state.
Sadly, the Democrats and their eco-activist supporters are politicizing the disaster in an effort to mar President Donald Trump’s magnificent July 4th celebrations as well as to create a narrative that will make the Guadalupe River flood into Trump’s Katrina.
