'There was no warning' | Floodwaters rip through Hunt, leaving grief and rubble
SUMMARY: Floodwaters from the Guadalupe River devastated Hunt early on July 4th with no warning, flattening buildings and overturning gas pumps. The historic Hunt store, a beloved local fixture since at least 1914, was severely damaged. Owner Hayley Lehman and her 10-year-old daughter Stella, who lives in the apartment above the store, narrowly escaped by climbing to the rooftop, awaiting rescue through the night. The flood caused immense grief, including the loss of a friend or relative to a fifth grader Stella. Rescue efforts continue nearby as the community mourns, clings to hope, and faces challenges like displaced livestock and damaged roads.
One of the hardest-hit landmarks was the Hunt Store, a local fixture that’s stood for more than a century.

SUMMARY: At least 43 people, including 15 children, died in flash floods after heavy rains hit Kerr County, Texas, particularly devastating Camp Mystic, a historic girls’ camp founded in 1926. About 27 girls from Camp Mystic remain missing following the storm, which dropped nearly a foot of rain, causing the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly and flood the area. Rescue efforts have saved around 850 people, but many families are still awaiting news of loved ones. Authorities are criticized for unclear emergency plans and inadequate warnings. The flood transformed the once-idyllic camp into a scene of destruction and grief.
