In just two hours, the Guadalupe River in Texas surged three stories high, leading to catastrophic floods that left over 100 dead and many missing. The sudden deluge destroyed buildings, swept away vehicles, and uprooted trees, leaving communities devastated.

Former President Barack Obama expressed deep sorrow over the devastating flash floods in Central Texas, describing the situation as “absolutely heartbreaking” and offering prayers for those affected, especially families who have lost loved ones or are awaiting news.
