in what many are calling a divine miracle, two young girls were just rescued after surviving *three full days* clinging to a tree 30 feet above raging floodwaters in Kerr County, Texas.
The girls, campers from the now-devastated Camp Mystic, were presumed missing \u2014 but search crews spotted them waving weakly from high in a tree after waters began to recede.They had been holding on since the early hours of the flood, when a surge tore through the campgrounds, sweeping away bunkhouses and cabins like toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe saw a flash of red,\u201d one firefighter told local reporters. \u201cThey were alive. Barely. But alive.\u201dThis flood has already claimed over 70 lives. But in the middle of this heartbreak, these two girls became symbols of raw courage and survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Families across the state are holding their breath \u2014 and praying for more stories like this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Texas is grieving\u2026 but also, for a moment, grateful. \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
