A terrifying wall of water is looming over Texas right now β and itβs not slowing down. As evacuation routes flood and emergency systems falter, desperate residents are clinging to one final hope to stay alive.
πͺοΈ What is this final lifeline? And will it be enough?

Flood-ravaged parts ofΒ TexasΒ are set to be pounded by an additional ‘wall of water’ officials have warned, as they announced a new wave of evacuations.
Nim Kidd, Chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, advised Kerr County to brace for more of the deadly rains which have already claimed the lives of at least 80 people.
‘There are unconfirmed at this point reports of additional water coming in. And as the governor mentioned, there’s rain still falling on the area,’ Kidd said at a press conference.
‘We’ve got DPS aircraft that are flying up to try to find this wall of water right now, and the people in the reported areas, again, unconfirmed, that are on our communication systems.’
Locals in central Texas are being urged to scramble to higher ground following further flash flood warnings as a result of further rain falling on saturated ground.
Among the deceased so far are at least five young girls, aged between eight and nine, whose summer camp in Hunt, Texas was swept away by the floods in the early hours of July 4. Rescue workers said at least 11 other campers are still missing.
So far 40 adults and 28 children have died in Kerr County, after the Guadalupe River rose more than 26 feet in just 45 minutes, pounding local communities with flash flooding.
It comes after the Trump administration made major cuts to federal funding, impacting agencies like FEMA which lead the response to natural disasters.

Further peril has been forecast in Texas where officials are warning that another ‘wall of water’ is set to deluge Kerry County.
So far, the deadly floods have already claimed the lives of at least 80 people, including 28 children.
The Chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, Nim Kidd, revealed officials are working to identify where the water could be swelling.
‘Another thing I’m getting right this minute during this press conference is reports of an additional wall of water coming down some of the creeks going into the forks,Kidd said at a press conference.
‘And I want you to think about that for a second. If you’re not from that area and you don’t know the low water crossings, you could find yourself in a very dangerous situation.’
He revealed parts of the river are being evacuated in anticipation of another flood.
‘This is the live updates that we’re getting right now from the field is there are unconfirmed at this point reports of additional water coming in. And as the governor mentioned, there’s rain still falling on the area,’ Kidd said.
‘We’ve got DPS aircraft that are flying up to try to find this wall of water right now, and the people in the reported areas, again, unconfirmed, that are on our communication systems.
‘We’re asking them to get out of the water and out of the way so that we don’t wind up having to do additional rescues.’
