Everything happened faster than anyone could predict. An hour was enough to sweep via houses, roads and cause the death of dozens of people. Until Thursday the situation seemed under control, but in the early hours of the morning on Friday time began to change suddenly.
Please Pray for More Miracles in Texas.

No prediction had announced such a catastrophe. People slept quiet in their homes, campers enjoyed the quiet along the banks of the river, unaware of the imminent danger.

Only after 4 on Friday has a first alert bulletin arrived, followed by an even more serious warning around 5, issued by the County of Kerr, but it was already too late.
The level of the Guadalupe river has risen dizzyingly, reaching an increase of almost 8 meters. The water broke through the banks, dragging with it everything it met.
Among the most severely affected areas, the Camp Mysticlocated just outside Kerrville, close to the river. At that moment it housed 750 girls for a scout gathering: at the moment, 27 are still dispersed.

In this regard, after visiting the Camp Mystic, the governor of Texas Greg Abbott said that the searches will not stop until all the missing young people are identified. In the meantime he declared it state of natural calamity. In the rest of Texas, the provisional budget is tragic: approximately 50 victimsincluding at least 15 children.
TODAY I Vised Camp Mystic.
It, and the River Running Beside It, Were Horrecously Ravaged in Ways UNLIKE I’VE SEEN IN ANY NATURAL DISASTER.
The Height The Rushing Water Reached to The Top of Cabins was shocking.
We Won’t Stop Until We Find Every Girl WHO WAS in Those Cabins.

Meanwhile, on social networks the desperate appeals of the families of the missing girls continue to multiply: they ask for help, information, a signal. Any news could make the difference to find them.
