Texas Floods: One Week Later
Friday, July 11, marked one week since catastrophic floods swept through Central Texas, beginning in Kerr County. The scale of the tragedy is staggering: at least 120 people have lost their lives statewide, and more than 170 remain missing.

Kerr County has borne the brunt of the disaster, reporting 96 fatalities—including 36 children—and 161 people still unaccounted for. Numerous homes and summer camps have been destroyed, leaving communities shattered.

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited Kerrville on Friday, meeting with local and state officials, first responders, and residents affected by the floods. Their visit underscored the gravity of the situation and the urgent need for continued support and recovery efforts.

As Texas begins the long road to recovery, “Strait to the Heart” stands as a beacon of hope—reminding us that, even in the darkest times, the Lone Star spirit endures.
