Rescue teams in Texas are still searching for missing children after catastrophic floods hit the region over the holiday weekend. The death toll has climbed to 43, with entire communities submerged when months' worth of rain dumped in just hours. Families celebrating the Fourth of July found themselves trapped or swept away—now survivors are left waiting for news as emergency crews battle debris and receding waters.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another weather story—it’s a human tragedy unfolding in real time. Floods turned holiday festivities into chaos, exposing how vulnerable communities are to extreme weather. With climate change fueling more intense storms, disasters like this could become harder to recover from, especially in areas unprepared for sudden deluges. Every missing person represents a family living in agony, and the rising death toll underscores how quickly ordinary days can turn deadly.
