At least 24 people have died, and dozens remain missing after 1.8 trillion gallons of rain fell across Central Texas, unleashing catastrophic flooding in the Texas Hill Country and the Edwards Plateau early Friday.
Among the missing are between 23 and 25 girls from an all-girls summer camp along the Guadalupe River, officials told reporters late Friday. Earlier, officials reported that 23 girls were unaccounted for from Camp Mystic, which had more than 750 children at the time.
The long and tragicomic history of fixing the sky, which includes rainmakers, rain fakers, weather warriors, and climate engineers, shows that these ideas are very unlikely to work.
“The flooding damage is catastrophic,” Kerrville Police Officer Jonathan Lamb told The Washington Post. “It’s the worst flood that we’ve ever seen.”
“Several helicopters are looking for people and rescuing them. Senator Ted Cruz wrote on X, “President Trump promised Texas anything it needs.”
President Trump informed reporters on Air Force One late Friday that his administration is working with Abbott on the response effort. The president stated, “We’ll take care of them,” and called the dreadful and devastating flooding occurrence a “catastrophe.”
