in what many are calling a divine miracle, two young girls were just rescued after surviving *three full days* clinging to a tree 30 feet above raging floodwaters in Kerr County, Texas.
The girls, campers from the now-devastated Camp Mystic, were presumed missing โ but search crews spotted them waving weakly from high in a tree after waters began to recede.They had been holding on since the early hours of the flood, when a surge tore through the campgrounds, sweeping away bunkhouses and cabins like toys.
โWe saw a flash of red,โ one firefighter told local reporters. โThey were alive. Barely. But alive.โThis flood has already claimed over 70 lives. But in the middle of this heartbreak, these two girls became symbols of raw courage and survival.
Families across the state are holding their breath โ and praying for more stories like this one.
Texas is grievingโฆ but also, for a moment, grateful. ๐
