negativeWorld Affairs
Texas is grappling with the aftermath of catastrophic flooding that has claimed at least 50 lives, including 15 children. Rescue teams are urgently searching for 27 missing girls from a summer camp near the Guadalupe River, which surged an astonishing 26 feet in just 45 minutes due to relentless rain. The situation remains dire as more storms hit the region, hampering recovery efforts.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just another weather story—it's a heartbreaking tragedy unfolding in real time. The sheer speed of the flooding and the high number of young victims make it especially shocking. With climate change intensifying extreme weather, disasters like this could become more frequent, forcing communities to rethink how they prepare for the unpredictable.

A terrifying flash flood in central Texas caught campers off guard in the middle of the night, with survivors recounting how the waters rose shockingly fast.

Editor’s Note: Flash floods are deceptively deadly—they strike fast, often with little time to react. This story highlights both the sheer power of nature and the importance of heeding warnings (or questioning why they weren't clearer). It’s a grim reminder of how vulnerable we are when severe weather hits, especially in areas where people might feel safe, like a campsite.
