Central Texas was struck by a devastating flash flood on July 4, when the Guadalupe River surged more than 26 feet in under an hour—sweeping away cabins, homes, and entire communities.
With over 100 confirmed deaths, including many children from Camp Mystic, and dozens still missing, rescue crews are battling mud, debris, and rising water using boats, helicopters, K‑9 teams, and heavy machinery.
As more storms loom, President Trump has declared a federal disaster and plans to visit the hardest-hit areas this Friday.
The disaster has sparked urgent questions about the failure—or absence—of early warning systems and emergency preparedness in Texas’s notorious “Flash Flood Alley.” This video documents the crushing impact, heroic rescue efforts, and the race to rebuild in the aftermath of one of the most destructive natural events in recent memory.
Mexico Border: The U.S. military has expanded its role in border enforcement like never before, reinforcing the border wall with Mexico using barbed wire and declaring vast “restricted zones” across New Mexico and Texas. Backed by a national emergency order from President Donald Trump, over 7,600 troops have been deployed to patrol these areas—empowered to detain individuals and bypass traditional legal constraints.
Supporters call it necessary for fighting drug cartels and human smuggling. Critics say it's a dangerous militarization of civilian space, cutting off public lands and threatening civil liberties.
From barbed wire across onion fields to no-entry zones in the desert—this is the most aggressive border crackdown in modern U.S. history.

At least 82 people are dead, including 28 children, after catastrophic floods swept through central Texas. As rescue teams search for 11 missing girls last seen at Camp Mystic, Donald Trump deflects responsibility, calling the tragedy a “Biden setup” and brushing off questions about slashed FEMA and weather budgets. Entire communities were engulfed as the Guadalupe River surged 26 feet in just 45 minutes.

Texas Floods: Was This Disaster Avoidable? 79 Dead & Dozens Missing | Oneindia News
As rescue teams race against time in the flood-ravaged Texas Hill Country, chilling questions are emerging about whether this catastrophe could have been prevented.
A catastrophic flash flood has torn through Central Texas, leaving a trail of devastation and a rising death toll of at least 79 people, with dozens still unaccounted for. The disaster struck with shocking speed before dawn, as the Guadalupe River surged an unprecedented 26 feet in just 45 minutes. This terrifying wall of water swept away homes, vehicles, and summer camps, giving residents and campers mere minutes to react. The event has turned serene landscapes into disaster zones, prompting a massive search and rescue operation.
Kerr County has been hit the hardest, reporting 59 fatalities, a number that tragically includes 21 children who were camping near the river. Among the missing are eleven children and a counselor from Camp Mystic, a detail that has left the entire community in shock and grief. The tragedy extends to Travis, Burnet, and Kendall counties, where more casualties have been confirmed. Authorities are deploying helicopters, drones, and boats in a desperate search for survivors and victims, with over 850 people already rescued from rooftops, trees, and isolated areas.
As families and volunteers join the desperate search efforts, many are beginning to ask hard questions about the timeliness and adequacy of the flood warnings. With flood watches still in effect and more rain in the forecast, the situation remains critical. Officials have vowed to continue the search until every last missing person is found, but the scale of this natural disaster has left a permanent scar on Central Texas.
