A terrifying flood turned life upside down in Hunt, Texas, when a violent storm dumped record-breaking rain on the small town. The Guadalupe River, usually a peaceful retreat for campers and families, swelled to dangerous levels, swallowing homes and roads in its path. For hours, rescue teams battled rising waters to save those trapped by the disaster.
The storm’s fury caught everyone off guard. Longtime residents had never seen anything like it—water levels climbed to nearly 30 feet, matching a historic flood from decades ago. Houses were ripped from their foundations, and debris littered the landscape where children once played. Helicopters buzzed overhead, scanning for survivors with infrared technology, while ground crews navigated treacherous conditions to reach those in need.
Then came a moment of joy: a missing camper, feared lost in the chaos, was found safe along the riverbank. The rescue lifted spirits in a town weighed down by grief and uncertainty. But not all stories had happy endings. Many families still searched for missing loved ones, their hearts heavy with worry.
Shelters overflowed as volunteers worked tirelessly to provide comfort. Donations poured in, and strangers offered whatever help they could. The road ahead is long—bridges need repairs, power must be restored, and homes rebuilt. Yet, Hunt’s community stands strong, proving that even in disaster, kindness and courage prevail.
