At least 68 people have died in devastating flash floods in Texas, with 11 girls and a counselor still missing from Camp Mystic in Kerr County. Triggered by intense July 4 weekend rains, the flooding overwhelmed the Guadalupe River region. President Donald Trump signed a major disaster declaration, activating FEMA and deploying the Coast Guard for rescue. Over 800 people have been saved so far. Survivors criticized the lack of warnings, calling the floods a “pitch black wall of death.” Pope Leo offered prayers, and NFL teams pledged $1 million in aid. More rain and flooding are expected.
