The footage, shared on social media, captures a chilling transformation: in just seven minutes, a seemingly calm roadway becomes engulfed by a violent surge of floodwater. Viewers were stunned by the speed at which the flood arrived — a stark reminder of how little warning many had to escape.

“That is scary! No wonder people couldn’t evacuate in time,” one user wrote beneath the video. Another added: “That’s becoming way too familiar of a scene. What’s going on?”

Camp Mystic Tragedy

Among the hardest-hit locations was Camp Mystic, a summer camp for girls located just outside of Kerrville. Over 750 girls were attending when the flash flood struck. Authorities have confirmed that at least 20 children remain unaccounted for, though some may be safe but unable to communicate due to power, water, and internet outages.
