Devastating Flooding in Texas

  • πŸ’” Camp Mystic is grieving the loss of 27 campers and counselors due to catastrophic flooding on the Guadalupe River.
  • πŸ‘§ The victims included young campers aged eight and nine, as well as teenage counselors, all of whom were described as Christians who loved the camp.
  • 🌊 The river, normally around 1 foot, rose to over 34 feet in minutes, inundating cabins with a "wall of rushing cold water" in total darkness.
  • πŸ’” Among the lost were best friends Laya Bonner and Eloise Peek, both eight years old, and nine-year-old Sumestra.
  • πŸ’” Sisters Blair and Brook Harbor, aged 11 and 13, also lost their lives while staying with their grandparents, who remain unaccounted for.

The Force of the Floodwaters

  • 🏞️ Videos show the Guadalupe River transforming from a nearly dry riverbed to a raging torrent within minutes.
  • 🌳 The floodwaters carried debris, uprooted trees, and the remnants of home decks.
  • 🏠 An entire home was seen being swept away and slamming into a bridge.
  • πŸ“ˆ In a matter of hours, the river rose from 1 foot to 34 feet, demonstrating its immense and destructive power.

Media and Political Reactions

  • πŸŽ™οΈ Megyn Kelly criticizes media figures, calling them "ghouls" for attempting to blame President Trump and budget cuts for the tragedy.
  • πŸ—£οΈ She refutes claims of National Weather Service staffing shortages being the cause, stating the office had extra staff on duty.
  • πŸ“Ί Kelly accuses some media outlets, like ABC News and George Stephanopoulos, of being "paid liars" focused on attacking Trump rather than respecting the dead.
  • 🎯 She asserts that the media is too focused on a "bring down Orange Man bad" narrative, ignoring the actual events and victims.

Financial Advice Amidst Crisis
