- At least 25 people are dead and several others remain unaccounted for after flooding in the Texas Hill Country early Friday, the start of a busy Fourth of July weekend.
This makes me cry. So so sorry for all the families that have lost loved ones and those missing. My prayers are with you all

It's terrible to think children were swept away unexpectedly.
I'm a Texan and did not know of any news reports that this rain event was going to happen.
Not about forecasts, funny how nobody talks about camp management. That country is dangerous in heavy rain, you got to be on your toes
@@sandiharris5906the director of one of the camps perished, yet that camp didn't lose any campers. Over 1000 campers made it even though the flood came fast, in the dead of the night, and many of the camps staff were teenagers, pretty darn impressive. Praises to the heros that got out of bed and made their ways through the driving rain to warn those in areas of danger. Many more would have perished without the warnings they did get
They knew it was a flood zone why didn't they warn the camp area that potential rain was coming @@sandiharris5906
We used to have a system that would warn us. @@sandiharris5906
Cut backs...... and where is the big man Trump...... He is off talking BS while kids from Texas could be in desperate need of massive Govt help...
I think the death toll is going to be a lot more than the 20 or so they say…entire RV parks were washed away, families inside, people saw cars with lights on and people inside screaming for help, and there was nothing they could do to help.
OMG. The stuff of nightmares. Please pray hard for these people!

@mayamathew-ep
That storm sat over us an entire day. I agree.
@@mayamathew-ep8gh Spreading conspiracy b.s. helps no one. Find actual facts. Not someone's opinion labeled as predictions. A fact is NOAA the scientific weather data gathering and sharing had massive loss of funding and personnel. That agency is spread thin, they're the one aware of potential weather related disasters. But that is much harder because someone thought it was smart to save money by massive cuts to lon existing government agencies with permanent government workers, who become familiarized with that agency and how it works. There are good reasons why NOAA had grown over the years. They do long term collection of data. Well anyway, they're less able to provide sufficient warning to people due to those unjustified cuts putting public safety at greater risks.
@@mayamathew-ep8gh Weaponization by whom exactly?
i`m having flash backs of western north Carolina/eastern Tennessee after Helen, they still digging out and people still in tents and shacks 8+- months later..a big big thanks to the MANY Veterans and churches and ham radio operators who where the first there to help. my bible tells me weather will get so much more worse. people, please be ready for it.

Your reporting was excellent yesterday. Thank you all. I hope you're able to sort the emotions and can talk to others about the shock you've experienced. There's another reporter that did real good yesterday too. She was showing us the grasshoppers and other non-flying insects climbing fence posts to get away from the saturated ground. It was amazing to see. She reminded everyone to beware of scorpions, spiders, and other dangerous critters tht are displaced too.
Would that include pythons or even alligators??? Sorry if my question sounds ignorant or silly….I am not familiar with/ this area so I ask in complete “inquiry mode”. Granted, bugs of the sort you mention seems quite plausible.
Prayers for EVERYONE involved….this is a real tragedy. 🥺😢
@TurtleKitty-357 no pythons in the hill country maybe watch for rattlesnakes no alligators
I wonder why the news didn't predict this type of rain event was possible?
I'm a Texan, just a few hours from this area and we are experiencing flooding as well
I didn't receive any predictions.
The only thing I kept seeing was just a 45% chance of rain.

July 1 NOAA, natl severe storms lab and NWS in Norman ok all closed Only built less than 15 years ago at a cost of millions in construction and equipment. Now sit empty.
If Trump and Elon hadn't fired the employees could the storm had been identified sooner and warning out in better timing??
I'm sure the people in North Carolina and Tennessee didn't think it was Trump's fault when they lost EVERYTHING after Helene. Let's see, who was the President?
@@godisawesomeasalways6004 Who were the governors?
The storm was closely followed. The weather has been cooler than normal for a week, that lowered the dew point. The moist gulf air made the conditions ripe for a storm, nothing unusual, but the ferocity of the rainfall was a rare event. Flash flooding here is normal. The deluge hit at 4:30 am when campers were sleeping. Within 30 minutes the flooding was dangerous. There weren't enough people at that hour to wake those at risk. As many as 750 girls were at Camp Mystic, 23 were not evacuated in time.
LOL, have you forgotten about local news and the Weather Channel???? NWS is fully operational as is FEMA. Somehow you know all about it, and know very little at the same time??
@@godisawesomeasalways6004 A normal, compassionate, effective leader was president then: Joe Biden. This was the report regarding Hurricane Helene:
As response efforts continue in North Carolina and the Southeast, FEMA remains focused on getting help to people and areas that need it the most. More than 5,600 personnel from across the federal workforce are deployed, including more than 1,500 from FEMA. To date, FEMA has shipped over 11.5 million meals, more than 12.6 million liters of water, 150 generators and more than 400,000 tarps to the region. FEMA has already helped thousands of Hurricane Helene survivors jumpstart their recoveries with more than $45 million in flexible, upfront funding. Administrator Criswell remains in North Carolina and is actively working with local and state officials on ongoing response efforts. On the ground with Administrator Criswell are FEMA’s top senior leaders from around the country including Field Coordinating Officer Thomas McCool, Region 4 Regional Administrator Robert Samaan, Region 3 Regional Administrator MaryAnn Tierney, Region 7 Regional Administrator Andrea Spillars and Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans to help oversee response operations.

"Oh, we won't be needing NWS or NOAA anymore"
Infamous last words.
Praying for Children and Families
Cool, im not doing anything either
Recent cuts, mandated by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration, have significantly impacted the National Weather Service (NWS), leading to staffing shortages and concerns about the quality of weather forecasts. These cuts, which included layoffs and early retirement incentives, *have resulted in reduced capacity for monitoring severe weather events and issuing timely warnings.*
First thing idiots want to do is blame Trump
Shoot Biden wouldn't even of known what hit um or Texas for that matter!!!!
I pray for the families involved. Do you know that the Helene devastation was half a state with dozens still missing after 8 months.?
He City of San Antonio seriously needs to postpone their project Marvel until all flood issues are resolved. We can't afford not to be prepared for anything that may come our way

Let us start with if I was camping on the Guadalupe, I would never rely on weather forecasts alone. If the flood was due to raining upstream, oh well, but if it was raining heavily on me, I would know that history on Guadalupe says .....
Why was there warning? I don't understand
Remember folks, climate change does not exist says big oil.
There has ALWAYS been flooding in certain areas around the world. You can't blame "climate change" on people building & living in those areas getting affected.
You cement the land, you get flooding! Ex. Wal-mart parking lots!!! The run off.
Climate change is here and will stay until something is done. Which with our administration that's never going to happen as he called it darkly not real. Tell all who has been affected and those to come SORRY we don't believe in climate change.😢😢😢😢😢
Climate changes constantly. It's a normal phenomenon.
I live on the Oregon coast and we have icky weather sometimes....
... It never gets like that.
I think I can recall one time in my 67 years where we had almost 6 in of rain in 24 hours but it wasn't a downpour. It was just steady rain all day long. One and a half or 2 in is extremely heavy rain for us in a 24-hour period.
I can't imagine what 10 or 12 inches would do to us.
My heart goes out to those people affected.
I’m from Oregon, too and lived in Texas- San Antonio and El Paso- for almost 4 years. Their ground doesn’t soak up the water like Oregon ground does. It floods easily, unfortunately. I would see even small amounts of rain in Texas cause flooding and standing water.
I can't tell the terrain from the few videos that I've seen.
Up and down the Oregon coast. It's quite mountainous right before it gets to the actual coast and there would be a lot of small communities just totally washed away Because of this steep hillsides and roadways next to the creeks and rivers. That's of course where the towns are located too, so I can't begin to imagine the landslides and things that could happen at least here on the coast. It wouldn't be pretty.
I'm guessing those areas in Texas are relatively flat?

Isn't it time for America to build real houses made of bricks and mortar vs cardboard? When the recent floods happened in Spain and France, their houses stood while people pumped the water out, in the USA they are always carried away by a little heavier rain. So many lives could be saved by building better, sturdier houses.
The new 3-D printed concrete houses will someday be the norm here too!
That's true. America is all about profit over quality.
I don't know if that helps when the water rose 25 feet in one hour overnight and is moving at 60mph.
I dare say most houses in America are brick and mortar homes. I agree with you that the houses aren't built to last, but a brick and mortar facade isnt gonna save anyone. So what's the idea?
MY US house is 100% brick, with a slate roof, my neighbors house is stone. So many lives could be saved if people paid attention, this was forecasted.
stop imprisoning immigrants.
