Central Texas Flood Support
Central Texas Flood Support
In early July 2025, catastrophic flooding struck Central Texas, particularly the Hill Country, after intense rainfall caused rivers to surge with little warning. In some areas, the water rose an astonishing 26 feet in just 45 minutes, overwhelming communities and sweeping away homes, cars, and lives. Dozens of lives were lost, with many families still searching for loved ones or grappling with unimaginable loss. Recovery efforts are ongoing as residents face the long road to rebuilding.
